Title: Epson LFP Accounting Tool and Qimage
Post by: larkis on February 12, 2024, 08:33:15 PM
I use the LFP accounting tool to track media and ink costs of my printer. I have noticed that applications such as lightroom will send the name of the image that i'm printing to the print que and in turn the Epson account tool will read that name to give me an indication of which image was printed.

When printing with QImage I noticed that only the name of the software printed from is being sent and then the date of the image. Is there some remedy for this?

The default is Qimage and the date because Qimage is batch printing software and it's not very useful to show the first print of many: what are you going to do when you print 2 on a page?  4 on a page?  A contact sheet with 25?  Or even one print per page... but a 5 print job with 5 pages in that job?

So instead of assuming everyone is only going to print one print on a page, it's an option: Edit, Preferences, Job Logging, Job File Naming, Auto (name using first print).

Regards,
Mike

Thank you, this will be useful for my use case of single images per page.
