At work, we use a number of LaserWriter II NTs for our day to day
printing.  On a weekly basis we'd like to gather some statistics
from the printer.  Right now the only thing we can get is the page
count total and the only way to get that information is to power
cycle the printer (they are on and available for use 24 hours a day).
There must be a better way to do this.  I've gone over the manual
that came with the printers but it doesn't describe any way to get
this info via some character sequence sent to the printer.  If 
someone out there can help (Apple are you listening?) please send
me some e-mail.  If other stats are being kept inside the printer,
we'd like to know how to get that information too.
