Hi Alex,
Not sure this is correct. PORT 9100 is traditionally used for RAW protocol ( similar to LPR but data is simply sent differently ). To get information from a Printer Device i.e. MFP a second protocol SMB gets used. The PJL commands are simply used as printer instructions, so can be used for Job Ticketing, General Info ( Title, Colour spacing etc. ). So simply see it as a JOB CONTROLLER and not a DEVICE STATUS

The OCE printer doesn't comply to all the HP PJL syntax. Most of it actually gets ignored. But this does depend on the model as OCE do have a huge range ( small to large ). The LARGER devices prefer AFP so any input gets converted/transformed. The smaller devices do have native PostScript/PCL engines or external RIPS.

Hope it helps!
Clinton

And also it is possible to get COPYPAGECOUNT value using PJL for MFP?
And color printouts?

Or it is possible only using MIB's?

It is possible to send PJL commands to OCE printers and retrieve answer?

For HP use 9100 port to get printer information (PAGECOUNT and other)
