<HTML> <!-- SECTION: References --> <HEAD> <TITLE>page_log</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P>The <VAR>page_log</VAR> file lists each page that is sent to a printer. Each line contains the following information:</P> <P CLASS="command"> printer user job-id date-time page-number num-copies job-billing<BR> <BR> DeskJet root 2 [20/May/1999:19:21:05 +0000] 1 1 acme-123<BR> DeskJet root 2 [20/May/1999:19:21:05 +0000] 2 1 acme-123<BR> </P> <P>The <I>printer</I> field contains the name of the printer that printed the page. If you send a job to a printer class, this field will contain the name of the printer that was assigned the job.</P> <P>The <I>user</I> field contains the name of the user (the IPP <CODE>requesting-user-name</CODE> attribute) that submitted this file for printing.</P> <P>The <I>job-id</I> field contains the job number of the page being printed. Job numbers are reset to 1 whenever the spool directory (<VAR>/var/spool/cups</VAR>) is cleared, so don't depend on this number being unique!</P> <P>The <I>date-time</I> field contains the date and time of when the page started printing. The format of this field is identical to the <I>data-time</I> field in the <VAR>access_log</VAR> file.</P> <P>The <I>page-number</I> and <I>num-pages</I> fields contain the page number and number of copies being printed of that page. For printers that cannot produce copies on their own, the <I>num-pages</I> field will always be 1.</P> <P>The <I>job-billing</I> field contains a copy of the <CODE>job-billing</CODE> attribute provided with the IPP <CODE>Create-Job</CODE> or <CODE>Print-Job</CODE> requests or "-" if none was provided. </BODY> </HTML>
