WORKSFORME as designed. (Even with CUPS 1.1.23 on SUSE).

*Before* a job is completed, kjoviewer (and the CUPS web interface) display "0" as number of pages. (The number only gets counted while actually printing.)

*After* the job is completed, kjobviere (and the CUPS web interface) display the number of pages printed. (I am currently not sure about the behavior *while* the job is printed).

*Some* jobs are impossible to count the number of pages for, because their PostScript is not DSC compliant (missing "%%Page:" comments), and cups just sends the file to the printer and logs "1" as the page count.

To get the page count into your CUPS web interface, hack a little bit the HTML template. Go to "/usr/share/cups/templates/jobs.tmpl" (or "/usr/share/cups/templates/[your_language_shortname]/jobs.tmpl"). Find these lines:

  <TH>Size&nbsp;</TH>
  <TH>State&nbsp;</TH>

and

  <TD>{job_k_octets}k&nbsp;</TD>
  <TD>{job_state=3?pending since<BR>{time_at_creation}:{job_state=4?held since<BR>{time_at_creation}:

and insert a new line between each of these, so that it looks like:

  <TH>Size&nbsp;</TH>
  <TH>Pages&nbsp;</TH>
  <TH>State&nbsp;</TH>

and

  <TD>{job_k_octets}k&nbsp;</TD>
  <TD>{job_media_sheets_completed=0?Unknown:{?job_media_sheets_completed}}</TD>
  <TD>{job_state=3?pending since<BR>{time_at_creation}:{job_state=4?held since<BR>{time_at_creation}:

Reload your http://localhost:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed browser window.

Voila! Look Ma!, it now shows a column with the number of pages for each job.  :-)
