I am aware of the following 3 problems which keep the VMS 4.5 symbiont from
correctly accounting for the pages actually printed:
(a) a file printed with /PASSALL qualifier is counted as 1 page independent
    of its contents.
(b) when printing /NOFEED (either due to queue default or to /NOFEED print
    qualifier), the symbiont considers any formfeed-delimited section of
    the file printed a page, independent of its size.
(c) due to an obscure JOBCTL bug, the first file printed after the command
    sequence
        $ stop/que/next ...
        $ start/queue   ...
    gets accounted for the pages printed by the previous job in addition to
    its own pages.
    [I SPR'ed this problem only recently, so it will stay with us for a while ..

If you know about other problems, I will be glad to summarize them to net.
