[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

The job-media-sheets-completed attribute depends on the printer driver
filter producing the correct PAGE: messages or having a backend that can
report page counts from the printer itself.

Also, when printing raw jobs, only the backend (or port monitor) are
available to do page accounting.

More than likely you are not using a driver that generates PAGE: messages
(all of the sample drivers in CUPS do, as should any plain PS printer...)
