Bored? Got a Networked HP printer around? - Page 3

Boooo, I wanna play

I can use terminal and I type "telnet 10.0.0.110 -p9100" and it gets me into the printer with a menu. But hwne I start typing the commands it doesn't like them :/

Try the perl script Des. Download this:

http://kovaya.com/perl/hpsetdisp.pl

To somewhere, then from a terminal type:

Code:

perl hpsetdisp.pl 1.2.3.4 "MESSAGE"

I'm fairly sure OSX has perl so it should work, if the printer supports it anyway.

Splendid

One of the dev's here is actually planning to properly mod that thing. He wants to pipe the output of fortune to the printer, and have it scroll along the display until it's over, then put 'READY' back. He's proper geek him.

Ha ha I have a 4050, so next time I plug it in, I'll give it a whirl

We're all HP too. I don't know the IP address of the local printers, though if I could be bothered I know I could find it.
