although you can open them up with winrar and a text editor they will show you nothing, just ascii characters, you may see the odd bit of info but nothing meaninful
sarond. that`s right. that`s where i read that. i have tried that but i cannot originate another hyper terminal session using IP. it is asking for the user name and the password. when i enter the details it will not allow me to login.
i this this solution will work if i can get another hyper terminal session open while the console cable is connected to the printer port.
sarond,
I do a variation on this. I use PuTTy so I can connect the ip address and use Port 23. This gets me to the old VT100 terminal style interface from the SX2000 days. From there you can get to the command screen and to the formprint that you want to do. For example if I want all the Multiline Set Key Assignments I would enter:
fo mu s k as /instance all /port lpr3 (abbreviated but you can write the whole thing)
System reports: FORMPRINT:Request is in progress
I immediately issue command:
en p/non (enable print/non queued) Scrolling of the requested form now starts and PuTTy captures the result.
When the system reports Formprint Complete I do a 'Ctrl C' to go back to the command screen
PuTTy is configured as
Telnet
Session Logging = Printable output
Terminal - Auto wrap mode innitially on
Terminal - Local echo = auto
Terminal - Local line editing = auto
Terminal - Remote-controlled printing = none
Keyboard - backspace key = control-?
Keyboard - Function keys and keypad = VT100+
I have not tried it, because I'm an old fossil, but I bet you could connect with PuTTy(with logging turned on) on port 1754 and issue the commands from the web based application of the 3300
Followup: I tried the port 1754 route but I did not get any scrolling forms. I thing port 1754 is lpr1.
I did find this on the net and describes what I do with the only difference being I use PuTTy
I can print individual forms and I do it a similar way to yourself telneting into the controller.
I was trying to print all forms with a single command rather than performing each form print command individually.
Have you had any luck with printing all forms at once using "FO ALL /ALL /PORT LPR3" or similar?
