Yes, parsing the text output from the printer is not only subject to a good number of (unknown) locales but also to firmware revisions. Is there a HP (or other) document describing the possible error codes of their printers ? I've looked at the HP web site for technical info such as control codes and errorcodes but so far I could not find this documentation. Also at home I have an Office Jet that can scan and print and I would like to get hold of the technical information regarding the software interface. > I will probably write this little missing piece of code next week. > Anyone who wants to test it, please let me know and I will send you the > patch as soon as it is ready. I'm interested, please do send the patch. Although please notice that I will be on vacation by the end of this week for about one week and a half. Regards, Alain
