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.

To view the current logpath settings on the print server:

1.

Load a Web browser on a network station that can
communicate with the print server over TCP/IP or using Telnet
(e.g. Telnet

ipaddress). The command to view the logpath

settings is:

Syntax:

list logpath

NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in

root

for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt

since there is no password by default.

2.

Direct your Web browser to URL

http://EthernetIPaddress/destConf.html

(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/destConf.html).

NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in

root

for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt

(since there is no password by default).
