ink and pkbcodes

Hello to all,
now we are using the pykota for statistics on black and white printers, 
but now we want to use it for billing code on a color printer, and the 
costs are based only on the ink usage.
For exmple:
0,10€ if the page have 5% ink coverage
1 € if the page have 30% ink coverage
3€ if the page have 100% of ink coverage (a photo for example)

Let me know if I did right things :

in pykota.conf I added this configuration:

[xerox_color]
preaccounter : ink(cmyk, 150)
accounter : ink(cmyk, 150)
coefficient_cyan : 1.2
coefficient_magenta : 3
coefficient_yellow : 1.1
coefficient_black : 1.0

And the configuration of printer is (pkprinters --list):
xerox_color [printer created from autopykota] (0.0 + #*0.0)
Passthrough mode : OFF
Maximum job size : Unlimited
Routed through PyKota : YES

(probably I have to changhe it by "pkprinters --add charge 0.5 xerox_color")

Ok, I read that pykotme doesn't work on ink accounter (So can I remove

not sure about the values, but the 'colors.pdf' PDF file which comes
with pkpgcounter will help you during testing : just print it and
adapt your costs and coefficients.
