Printer and Job Status via “Finger” (External Tool): Purposes and Limitations
27. Printer and Job Status via “Finger”
(External Tool)
27.1. Purposes and Limitations
With the TCP/UP Finger command you can get the following
information for the system target printer:
• Interface Type (that is, type of print server)
• Firmware Version
• Name ( “Host Name” [page 104] , not “Device Name”
[page 107] )
• Printer Type
• Printer Job Status (up to three queued jobs)
• Printer Status
NDO users must remember that the system target printer can
either be the local printer or a network destination.
The TCP/IP Finger command is supported on Windows NT /
Windows 2000 / Windows XP (as a DOS command) and Unix
systems.
In order to use it, you must be able to ping the Intermate1xx.
If you cannot ping it, you probably need to establish a static IP
route between the management PC and the print server.
