all of the above. i rely 100% on pjl and postscript status, pagecount, and error reporting for these printers. i connect to the printer via an external jetdirect because the network interface supplied by the manufacturer is total shit. because of this i have no real indications via the jetdirect's snmp agent about the status of the device, other than the state of the control lines on the parallel port. as a matter of fact, just this morning i noticed on of these printers became unresponsive (ifhp complaining that it couldn't get sync with the printer), and a user confirmed that it was simply out of toner. when there's any error condition it appears these savins simply take themselves offline, and by offline i mean *really* offline. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
