Printed job percentage

[M@CK]

Since this is my first post here, first id like to say hello to all the users of this board and a big thanks to the administrators for making this possible.

I have ben using Onyx for some time now, and one issue I get is that Onyx wont tell me the print count or percentage of job I sent printing wen something happens.
It will give a percentage wen its printing, but if I send 200 posters in six different skew, printing overnight on a three quarter roll that I'm not certain of the length,
I need to pull out the printed material and cut it down for a count before I can restart printing the run.
The jobs wont stay in "Ready to print window", they move to the archive with a red X on them.

Am I missing something ?
Any way to set Onyx to register the percentage like in the console ?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If this is not the appropriate forum please relocate this post.

I understand what you are looking for, as we deal with the same problem here. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to do this.

No it's not possible. Good feature request though.

Although it won't work with all printers. There are printers with harddisks that store data prior to printing. This will cause a wrong percentage in ONYX since the printer is buffering. Same with most wide-format devices. They have their own tracking though, so it wouldn't make sense anyway to have this feature. But for smaller networked printers and USB printers it would be perfect.
