Hello!
I have a HP Laserjet 4 with Postscript. It has a "pagecount" in the 
statusdict of PS implemented. My question is now: How can I write a 
program to check the pagecount and get it on the screen! (There was no 
manual included in the PS-module :(
Have I to make a Postscript file like that:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
statusdict pagecount
%%EOF

and print this file using lpr? But how get I a result an my screen???
cu,

	Matze
