# getpagecount.pl
# Purpose:
# After syncing with the printer (the name or IP of which is passed on the
# command line), wait for it to be in a READY state, acquire the page count,
# and print it on STDOUT.
#
# Languages used:
# Printer Job Language (to request status updates of our printers)
# PostScript (to read the page count register)

# Tunable constants
my $TIME = 10; # Number of seconds to wait before expecting a USTATUS message
my $READLEN = 512; # Number of bytes to sysread() from the printer to try and
                   # capture the ustatus.
my $MAX_PAGECOUNT_RETRIES = 3; # Number of times to try and read the pagecount
                               # out of the printer.

# Constants for HP PJL. The meanings, syntax, and semantics of this language
