Problem with printcap: af

[Marcus O. Ertle]

Help!  My system is a VAX-11/780 running ULTRIX-32 V3.1.  I would
like to generate accounting for my (LP25) line printer.  My 
/etc/printcap is as follows:

lp|a local LP25 printer on an LP11 parallel interface:\
	:lp=/dev/lp0:\
	:sd=/usr/spool/lpd:\
	:lf=/usr/adm/lpd-errs:\
	:af=/usr/adm/lp.acct:\
	:mx#5000:\
	:mc#3:\
	:pl#66:\
	:tr=\f:

# PostScript printer driven by TranScript software
# PostScript and TranScript are trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated
ps|ps|postscript|PostScript:\
	:lp=/dev/ps:sd=/usr/spool/ps:\
	:lf=/usr/adm/ps-log:af=/usr/adm/ps.acct:\
	:br#9600:rw:fc#0000374:fs#0000003:xc#0:xs#0040040:mx#0:sf:sb:\
	:if=/usr/newlib/ps/psif:\
	:of=/usr/newlib/ps/psof:gf=/usr/newlib/ps/psgf:\
	:nf=/usr/newlib/ps/psnf:tf=/usr/newlib/ps/pstf:\
	:rf=/usr/newlib/ps/psrf:vf=/usr/newlib/ps/psvf:\
	:cf=/usr/newlib/ps/pscf:df=/usr/newlib/ps/psdf:

Accounting is properly generated for the postscript printer - but
not for the line printer.  An ls -la of /usr/adm/*.acct gives:

-rw-rw-r--  1 daemon          0 Jan 11 09:29 /usr/adm/lp.acct
-rw-rw-r--  1 daemon     205170 Jan 11 11:07 /usr/adm/ps.acct

Note: Except for af, all other printcap functions work ok.

Any help would be appreciated.  E-MAIL if possible.
