The page log is normally maintained by the pstops filter (that is the
only one in a PostScript only configuration that may have an idea
of how many pages get printed), bot only if the printer's PPD has no
*cupsFilter: "..." entry. In the altter case the filter(s) specified
in the PPD are responsible for writing to the page log.
And if you obviously use the foomatic rip configuration, you _do_
have such a PPD statement.
