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.
