Re: Printer Queue Page Counting
Can you specify the ACCOUNT command that you are using, and the result of:
$SHOW ACCOUNT

Re: Printer Queue Page Counting
Are you pointing to the correct ACCOUNTING file?
If the print execution queue is on NODEA but you are on NODEB then you need to ensure that you access NODEA's ACCOUNTING file (unless you are sharing).
What is the output from $ SHOW LOG ACCOUNTNG
This command works for me:
$ acc/type=print/since/report=(pages)/summ=(user,queue)

Re: Printer Queue Page Counting
Show log accounting returns: no translation for logical name accounting
Your command works but returns same erroneous information for queue I'm looking at - it just includes every other print queue also.
The command I use:
acc /que=myprintque/summary=user/report=(pages,records)
returns:
Username Pages Total
Printed Records
-------------------------------
USER7_DEV 8 7
USER5_DEV 0 6
USER5_TST 4 6
I have tested this out and found that a single page job increases the Record total - but will not add to the page count. Thus in the example above USER5_DEV has actually printed 6 pages. If all jobs were only one page I could use the record count but as in the case of USER5_TST 2 jobs were two pages and the other four were singles so total pages should be 8.

Re: Printer Queue Page Counting
welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.
The Pages printed in the accounting file is only an attempt to report what the print-symbiont may guess as the number of real pages sent to the printer.
This may also depend on the print-symbiont used. If you check with SHOW QUE/FULL myprintque - what is reported as /PROCESSOR=xxx

Re: Printer Queue Page Counting
Check out HELP ACCOUNTING /BINARY. Then check $ACCDEF in SYS$LIBRARY:STARLET.MLB / FORSYSDEF.TLB / SYS$STARLET_C.TLB / etc. I see an ACC$L_PAGCNT in there. You will have to write some code.
There is probably some documentation that describes all this, but I am too lazy to keep looking until I find it.
