Job Accounting Help
Job Accounting collects and reports information about all the jobs
that print. The collected information identifies the submitter of the job and
the resources used to print the job. The Job Accounting Record (JAR) contains
information such as the User Name, Host Name, File Name,
Job Name, Job Start Time, Job End Time, etc.
Note: The actual values reported vary depending on the Protocol
and printer driver used when each job was printed. For example, using NPRINT
over NetWare provides the printer with the most information about the
job being printed. When using Windows and NetWare, the job name
is often LST: or LST:BANNER. Other jobs from other ports may
provide even less information about the job.
Job accounting records are stored in JAR files. For network printer configurations without hard drives, up to
50 job records can be stored. For network configurations with more RAM, up
to 500 job records can be stored. With an attached hard drive, the printer
can store a maximum of 5,000 job records.
