Hello everyone,

I try to get the page counter from an HP 4 si mx using a perl script. While 
it works perfectly with other HP printers (4050, 4100), I never get the 
expected answer.

Here's the script I use (found on this list)

#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO;
use Socket;
use strict;

my $ipaddr = '130.104.3.15:9100';
my $sock=IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr =>$ipaddr, Proto => 'tcp', Type => 
SOCK_
STREAM) or die "socket : $!";
my $eol="\x0a";
my $esc="\x1B";
my $pagecount="$esc\%-12345X\@PJL JOB$eol" . "\@PJL INFO PAGECOUNT $eol" . 
"$esc
\%-12345x";
my $stuff;
$sock->send("$pagecount");
$sock->recv($stuff, 1024);
print "Received : $stuff\n";
close $sock;

The result I get is :
Received : @PJL USTATUS TIMED
CODE=10001
DISPLAY=":"
ONLINE=TRUE

When expecting :

Received : @PJL INFO PAGECOUNT
18043
