How does the pdaccount command collect InfoPrint server accounting information?
To activate InfoPrint server account log support, you must change the log-accounting-data value. By default, the InfoPrint Manager value is log-accounting-data=false, and the actual destination default is to use the server setting. As a result, you
must set the log-accounting-data attribute as follows:
- To activate accounting for all destinations on a server:
Set the server's log-accounting-data attribute to True (if an actual destination hasn't specified this attribute, the server's log-accounting-data attribute is used)
- To activate accounting for a specific actual destination:
Set the log-accounting-data attribute to True for that specific actual destination. Otherwise, the value of the log-accounting-data attribute for the server is used.
- To deactivate accounting for all destinations on a server:
Set the log-accounting-data attribute to False (if an actual destination hasn't specified this attribute, the server's log-accounting-data attribute is used).
- To deactivate accounting for a specific actual destination:
Set the log-accounting-data attribute to False for that specific actual destination. Otherwise, the value of the log-accounting-data attribute for the server is used.
By default, the pdaccount command obtains this accounting information from one or more InfoPrint Manager servers:
- actual destination name
- job owner
- global job-id
- submission time
- completion time
- pages-completed
- octets-completed
- data stream
- job name
To use the accounting log version, you must set the accounting-log-version value. By default, the accounting-log-version value is not set. To use the same accounting-log-version value for all actual destinations on a server, set the server's accounting-log-version attribute to the desired text value and make sure that the accounting-log-version attribute is not set on the actual destinations.
The accounting-log-version attribute is logged only if it has a value. By setting the accounting-log-version attribute, a new field is appended after the currently fixed set of logged attributes which shifts the previous layout of additional accounting data.
The actual destinations attribute additional-accounting-log-attributes contains the job and document attributes that you define to record in the accounting log for each destination. You can use the actual destination attribute additional-accounting-log-attributes to define additional job and document attributes that you want included in the log. These attributes are:
- accounting1-text
- accounting2-text
- accounting3-text
- account-text
- actual-destinations-requested
- address1-text
- address2-text
- address3-text
- address4-text

- base-printer
- building-text callback-number
- chars
- color-bits-per-plane
- color-mapping-table
- color-profile
- color-rendering-intent
- color-toner-saver
- copy-count
