-    You have to define a new filtering chain for this, because most

   * Some, not all, print jobs are never accounted for, why ?
   
-    Probably because some jobs were printed in raw mode.
-    Job printed this way are never filtered, and so PyKota
-    doesn't see them.
-    If you print to a CUPS server through Samba, delete the
-    "-o raw" command line option in smb.conf's print command 
-    entry, and restart Samba. Gimp also sets the "-o raw"
-    command line option some times. Be sure to disable
-    raw mode in CUPS configuration. Eventually recompile
-    CUPS without raw mode support at all.
+    From version 1.16alpha7, you can now use the cupspykota
+    CUPS backend, which ensures that all print jobs will be
+    accounted for. The use of the old pykota filter is deprecated
+    with CUPS. It remains the filter of choice for LPRng though.
