FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8) System Manager's Manual FOOMATIC-GETPJLOPTIONS(8) NAME foomatic-getpjloptions - <put a short description here> SYNOPSIS foomatic-getpjloptions device foomatic-getpjloptions hostname port DESCRIPTION foomatic-getpjloptions Sends a set of PJL commands and reads back the PJL options and status from a printer over a network connection or de- vice bidirectional interface such as parallel, USB, serial. printers to standard output. The output can be piped into foomatic-addpjloptions to add options to the database. Options device The interface to which a local printer is connected, e.g. /dev/lp0, /dev/usb/lp0, /dev/tty00, etc. For a parallel port, you must have bidirectional support enabled at the BIOS level and the parallel port driver must support the bidirec- tional mode. Check your parallel port BIOS settings for EPP/bi-directional mode. hostname Host name or IP address of a network printer (HP JetDirect, DLINK, etc.). port Port on which your network printer listens for socket (App- socket) connections. Most common ports are 9100 (JetDirect), 10000 (DLINK). Usually you can configure the port via a con- figuration interface. EXIT STATUS foomatic-getpjloptions returns ??? AUTHOR Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary. Modified by Patrick Powell <papowell at lprng.com> to provide betters support for network printers, error messages, and remove CR and FF from output. WARNINGS Uni-directional protocols as remote LPD are not supported as no status is returned. Some network print servers which attach to a printer par- allel port do not support bidirectional mode.
