Hi Lynne,
Well, I printed jobs from both the web and via klpr and it the job
submitted via the web has the accounting information and the one
submitted via klpr does not. For the record, "accounting
information" includes the following:
account number (i.e. cost object)
media
printer (i.e. logical destination)
sides
copy count
remote address (i.e. the IP address from which the job was submitted)
All of these are concatenated together (separated by "___") in the
accounting database. The code that does this lives in:
/var/https/cgi-bin/mitjobsub.pl
We should probably capture this in our documentation.
I will need some time to incorporate this code into the filter that
handles klpr submissions. I should be able to do it by Friday April
19.
Rocklyn
