Printer Logging Through Logpaths
In the Ethernet Interface product manual, destinations are
described as logical queues with associated models and logpaths.
Models determine if any extra processing is needed with the print
jobs passing through, and logpaths determine whether any logging
is needed for each job.
Each logpath on the Ethernet Interface consists of two parts:
TYPE The type of log information to be captured.
The choices are
job
for job ID and username,
user
for user ID (and three messages per
job),
pgcnt
for total pages printed in a job,
cksum
for file checksums,
printer
for
special printer feedback, and
ioport
for
parallel printer status messages.
PORT Where this log information will be sent to. The
choices are a TCP port number (e.g., 2000),
an email address (including an alias), or a
central host running a SYSLOG daemon.
Table 9. Key Printer Logging Terms
Term Description
idle There is no job queued for the Ethernet Interface
I/O port.
blocked The printer is not allowing the Ethernet Interface
to send data to it. Check that there is not a printer
error and it is online and ready to go.
waiting The Ethernet Interface knows about a print job
but is waiting for the host to send more data or to
send an expected packet.
