Hi,
this is very simple to achieve...
1. Locate the jobs.tmpl file on your system. This is likely to be found
in "/usr/share/cups/templates/jobs.tmpl"
2. Find these three lines in the file:
<TH>Size </TH>
<TH>State </TH>
3. Add one more line and modify it like this:
<TH>Size (kByte) </TH>
<TH>Page(s) </TH>
<TH>State </TH>
4. Find three more lines in the file:
<TD>{job_k_octets}k </TD>
<TD>{job_state=3?pending since<BR>{time_at_creation}:{job_state=4?held since<BR>{time_at_creation}:
5. Add one more line and modify it like this:
<TD>{job_k_octets}k </TD>
<TD>{job-media-sheets-completed} </TD>
<TD>{job_state=3?pending since<BR>{time_at_creation}:{job_state=4?held since<BR>{time_at_creation}:
That's it. No re-start of cupsd required. Just reload or view the page
http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed.
Note that this will only work for *completed* jobs, because CUPS knows
only after fact how many pages there were in a file.
Cheers,
Kurt
