	I'm using a Sun 3 with SunOS 4.1; I want to turn on
printer accounting for our line printer.  I have an `af'
entry in the printcap file, but it seems that the output
filter program, which is responsible for writing the
accounting entries, is being called incorectly--the
arguments with which it's invoked include page length and
width but no accounting file name.

	Can anyone suggest a reason why not?  Is accounting
intentionally disabled for some reason?

 In some sense a stochastic process can do better; at least it has a chance.
