Only Postscript can be accounted correct for the moment (CUPS 1.2 will
implement additional features for page accounting) and the accounting is
done by the filter pstops. So if you
-) send no PS data or no data that is converted into PS by CUPS
   filtering chain or
-) you use raw CUPS queues (queues without PPDs associated to them) = no
   filtering is done at all
you will only see "1 1" in your logfile.

Don't know what you mean here.

-) lpr -P queue-name ...
-) lp -d queue-name ...
-) If you want to specify a default printer use lpadmin (see
   'man lpadmin'; lpadmin as 'root' will change the system defaults,
   running as 'user' will only affect this user).
