Another thing I just thought of: What happens if you write these commands to port 9100 to a printer that doesn't understand PJL? Will they be printed out on paper?I tested out some of the PJL commands on a lexmark optera s 2455 laserjet. The commands behave slightly differently: *The RDYMSG command does not print on paper but neither does it alter the ready message on a lexmarck. *The ID command sent raw through ncat does elicit a response but it sets off the printer's busy light. This does not seem to adversley affect the ability to print as I was able to send text afterwards through the same open ncat socket and it printed out. Also, the return data returned "Lexmark Optera S" w/o the exact model # where an HP returns the model # as well. *The STATUS command behaves similar to the ID command except that it always returns a state of BUSY on a lexmark unless it is asleep in which case it returns "Power Save Mode". Even when the display read "READY". It always returned BUSY to my probe.
That's good that it didn't print on any of those printers. I think it's a good idea for the script to do a preliminary @PJL INFO STATUS, and if it doesn't get a response back, not to send anything more to the port.
