Triggering Printing From a Third-Party
Application
You can integrate the VGA Printer device with a third-party
application or a script that “touches” the Print Page Now URL to
trigger the VGA Printer device to print the currently captured
image. If the VGA Printer IP address is 1.1.1.1 a print URL could
be:
http://1.1.1.1/admin/submit.cgi?cmd=prnow
.
You must also include the admin user name and password. To do
this, you can combine the URL with authentication using a tool
such as
Wget
. For example, if you use
Wget
and the VGA Printer
Web admin interface password is vga_print the syntax could be:
wget --http-user=admin --http-passwd="vga_print"
“http://1.1.1.1/admin/submit.cgi?cmd=prnow”
Wget.
