Setting Account Code at the Office...

If available, this would be enabled by the PPD and Sharp plugins. Have you looked in the Copies & Pages pull-down in the print dialog? If not there, Sharp hasn't enabled it.

I haven't tried any of this... but, you may be able to add this capability or some other accounting method with CUPS addons:

(example - accsnmp 1.01)

(example - pkpgcounter 1.81)

I think if you want a fine level of control or printing accountability, you'll have to look into a 3rd party print server software solution.

If you install the Sharp ppd for your machine you will find an option called Joib Control in your drop down menu. This is where you input your accounting number.

The PPD is the printer description file specific to a machine which tells the computer what features the machine has and how to interact with it. There should have been a CD that came with your system which has an installer to install the PPD for your machine. When the installer is complete then you go to the Printer setup utility highlight your printer and then click on show info. In the top window select printer model and then browse to the PPD just installed for your machine. click on apply changes. In the top window select installable options and then tell the PPD what options your machine has such a s a finsiher etc. and click on apply changes again. Now you are ready to print, when you print and select this printer you should see an option in the 3rd from the top, drop down menu called job handling, when selected you can input your account code and all should be well. You can also save this as a preset to avoid having to input code every time. hope this helps.
Thanks, Joe
