Basically, an "accounting error 3" (the ONLY "accounting error" in our
source for Transcript; no "1" or "2"; version 2.1 for Sun) means that
start and end page numbers don't make sense (i.e., less than zero, not in
logical order, etc.).  Relevant code fragment:

    if( start > end || start < 0 || end < 0 ) {
        fprintf(stderr,"%s: accounting error 3, %ld %ld\n",start,end);

The "start" and "end" are the pagecounts that PostScript automatically
keeps track of internally (inside the printer itself); Transcript (pscomm)
queries the printer for the cumulative pagecount before and after each
job.  Hope that helps.  All I can read into it is an inconsistency in your
PRINTER, not Transcript.
