As part of a help desk app, I'd like to add the ability to ping an IP
printer by selecting that option from the browser. I've searched but
can't find anything that makes sense as to how to do this. Can it be
done and how? These are not necessarily iSeries attached devices.

Generically, how can I invoke a local Windows command from the browser?
