Re: Send Login information to Sharp Printer

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't done this, exactly.

Many years ago I did do something that's somewhat similar with a Ricoh 
printer.   We were trying to keep track of which users use the toner so 
that we could apply the cost to the appropriate deparment under the GL, 
etc.  We did that with a custom data transform program that had code to 
insert the userid/passcode into the data stream as it was sent to the 
printer.  (The userid/passcode was figured out by looking up the IBM i 
userid in a db table.)

It worked, I guess...   no idea if that would apply to your Sharp 
printer, et al.
