Printer Logging Through Logpaths

Destinations are logical queues with associated models and logpaths. Models
allow extra processing needed with the print jobs. Logpaths are used if
logging is desired for each job.

Each logpath on the NIC 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, you can use either
Telnet or a Web browser as follows:

Telnet

Using Telnet, type the commands and your variable data as shown in the
example below:

Syntax:

list logpath

list logpath logpath

set logpath logpath port ioport
