Hi,
We use sysprint.sep in a public library setting to print separator pages from our public computers.  We always have to count the number of pages that printed out so we can charge our customers $.10/page.  Is there any way that the number of pages in the print job could be added to the separator page?  I have done much googling to no avail.  Thanks for any help that you can offer.

If your printer allows custom server loops and has the ability to read
a physical page counter then its probably doable.

If you could manage the separator page to be printed at the end of the job 
(instead of the beginning), it could easily be done, but as it is ...
I think a lot of tweaking.
