Re: cupsys page log
My amd64 workstation which prints to an i386 "testing" debian cups
server has data in it's page_log file.
for those who don't know it will contain data that looks like the
follow:
ricoh jacob 3385 [30/Mar/2005:06:38:00 -0800] 1 1 - 192.168.0.64
ricoh jacob 3385 [30/Mar/2005:06:38:00 -0800] 1 2 - 192.168.0.64
ricoh jacob 3385 [30/Mar/2005:06:38:00 -0800] 1 3 - 192.168.0.64
printer user jobid [datestamp] copy number, page number, source IP
I think, not sure about the "copy number" as I've never seen this as
anything but a 1 and the - might be a place holder.
Anyway. the AMD64 workstation log level is set to info and the i386
server is set to debug and both machines contain data
in /var/log/cups/page_log file.
The line
#PageLog /var/log/cups/page_log
is left commented on both machines as it only needs uncommenting if you
are changing the default location.
