Tracking Page Counts

[Chewie71]

Anyone know of an easy way to track/report page counts? I know I can get the information in Web JetAdmin but it's a pain to run it, export it into Excel, format all the information, etc...especially with 400+ printers to keep an eye on.

Is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Matt

If it's a standard report with no raster graphics, you could count the number of chr$(12) (assuming chr$(12) is
always used).

Just write it to a file.

in PowerBasic for windows it's easy.

open file$ for binary as #1
get$ #1,lof(1),thefile$
close #1
tpages&=parsecount(thefile$,chr$(12))
if right$(thefile$,3)=chr$(12)+chr$(13)+chr$(10) or right$(thefile$,1)=chr$(12) then tpages&=tpages&-1

HP 5650 Inkjet Printer Page Count. Is there a way to determine page count of this printer. I did not see that the self-test gave this.
