Read "stuck print jobs" @ http://jesusnjim.com/using-computers/stuck-print-jobs.html

Batch file that does the same is available @ http://jesusnjim.com/using-computers/flushprinters.bat

Source, binaries and installer @ http://jesusnjim.com/code/printflush.html

Not bad!
The BAT file basically stops the spooling process, then deletes the contents (files) located in the system32\spool\printers directory
then starts the spool process again.

Page Countster helps with printer management on a Local Area Network. The highly configurable software will create a report that contains printer IP addresses, MAC addresses, host names, printer models, serial numbers as well as the printer ink levels. The program can even send a test page to any network printer without needing a driver.

The primary purpose of Page Countster is to collect information from/about business (class) network laser printers. To that end the program does a pass/fail connection test to the lpr/lpd spooler port 515, which is typically open on any network print device.

Given that the Photosmart series inkjet printers are consumer class machines (which isn't a bad thing I just got one for my wife for christmas), they most likely have a very stripped down network interface (hence the failure).

Page Countster is also not designed to get readings from all 6 of the possible ink cartridges in some of the ink based machines. I may explore this later for taking reading off of a plotter and/or as network inkjets become more common.

Thanks for clearing that up Stoic Joker. That makes sense as Page Countster does see the HP LaserJet 2300 on my same home network without issue. It would be good to see this functionality in the future. It would make Page Countster more of a one stop shop for managing network printers.

It’s possible to run the app automatically and send the report via SMTP?
