Linux: Pass Accounting information to Xerox Printer via Postscript Printer Description (PPD)

xerox_accounting_template.ppd

*%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
*% GENERAL ACCOUNTING
*%
*% Instructions:
*%
*% 1. Identify the accounting option or options used by the printer.
*%
*% 2. Replace the '{{...}}' placeholders with corresponding information
*%    (without curly brackets).  For example, '<22>XRX_USERID,{{userid}}<22>'
*%    should become '<22>XRX_USERID,12345<22>'.
*%
*% 3. (optional) Comment out the options not used (add '*%' in front of line).
*%
*% FYI, when using this PPD file in Printer's Properties on Ubuntu 16.04,
*% the (below) options will show up as a pull-down menu labelled 'Accounting'
*% in the 'JCL' section of the 'Printer Options' panel.
*%
*% Also, even if there are remaining menu options with '{{...}}' placeholders,
*% the PPD will still be imported.  Then only thing that will happen is that
*% those '@PJL COMMENT' commands will send invalid accounting information to
*% the printer.
*%
*%
*% Comments on the syntax used below:
*%
*% 1. '*JCLOpenUI *JCLAccounting/<label>: PickOne'
*%    - specifies the label for the pull down menu in the UI.
*%
*% 2. '*JCLAccounting <menu_id>/<menu_label>: "<added Postscript code>"'
*%    - specifies the internal id and the label for the pull down menu item
*%      and the Postscript accounting code to be injected to the print job.
*%    - it's critical to get the Postscript code correct.
*%    - must be a single line of maximum 255 characters.

Did you ever have to send a passcode? I'm assuming that this was in relation to error code 016-757
