| *% 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. | |
| *%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% | |
| *% 'PickOne' means user can select option in Printer's Settings | |

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