PagePrinter Network Adapter: Utilities & Environments
Checking printer status
You can check the status of the network printer by using the TCP finger
command.
Using Finger
Finger is a TCP protocol that normally displays user information on a local or a
reachable host. This adapter uses finger to tell you the status of the printer and
the current print job.
For example, you may use:
finger info@name
where:
info is optional. When you use it, the adapter returns extended information.
name is the IP address or the name stored on the name server or in the
/etc/hosts
file. Please note that some UNIX environments require you to use
the adapter’s name instead of its IP address.
By default, finger returns the status of
all
the ports.
