	I justtried it with my DeskJet Plus and i ge tthe numbers 2836 in a total
of 7 places on the two sheets that get printed. 4 times (once for each of the four
fonts) on the portraiat page, and three times (once for each font) on the landscape
page. Sounds like your's is normal (unless you are getting a different number).

	BTW - It looks like firmware is rev 3.96 dated 89/01/27 (at least that is
what prints just below the top of the page).
