Hello Clinton,
Thank you for your answer.
About port 9100 - my code works fine to sent and reseive PJL command like this:
@PJL INFO PAGECOUNT and many other commands for HP and KYOSERA network
printers, currently I need information how it is possible to get such
information from local connected printers and for network printers
from another vendors.
Also I can get many info using MIB from this HP and KYOSERA printers,
but can't find variables to get information about toner/ink level. May
be anybody know how it is possible?
