What were you trying to do?
athena% lpquota -Pcalvin
What's wrong:
1) How much are we charging people?? Isn't it 3 cents/page??
2) I only printed out about 10 pages on calvin.
3) nil is not on quota (lpquota -Pnil tells me so...)
4) I did the rest of my printing on nil since calvin is in need of
repair (look at the hotline entry for calvin for more info)
5) I was billed 90 cents and it should have been about 30 cents
6) I could not look at all print activity to see how it's billing me
since lpquota -Pcalvin -l returns "not able to contact quota server
wombat" (or something similar)
What should have happened:
I should only have been charged for the printing done on a
printer that is "registered" with a quota server. Either that, or
lpquota is charging too much per page.
Also, I should be able to get a listing of print activity --
in other words, I should be able to get the information from wombat.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

(By the way, using sendbug over dialup is a royal pain!! it hangs when
waiting for emacs, then when I ctrl-c out of it and fg to emacs, the
sendbug stuff is there. To send it, I have to insert the test into a
mail message --- it isn't sent automatically)
