Probably should change the 'Website' link, it's redirecting.

Works as advertised, but only as long as I didn't try using it while connected to internet through a dial-up line. I kept being disconnected every 30 seconds at best...

Used this program to successfully extract keys from an older backup of the Registry hive files. Followed an online guide which recommended it since it automatically tweaks the exported key file with the correct path for importing into the registry.

File Replicator v1.2.1

webfork on 25 Feb 2019
  • 566KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 14 Feb 2010
  • Suggested by joby_toss

File Replicator is a batch file search-and-replace that lets you modify all instances of a file in a destination directory or drive without having to manually search. For example, if 7-zip.exe is a component of many programs in your portable collection, you can enable the latest-and-greatest version added to all of them. Simply select the destination to search (e.g. USB drive letter) and the file you wish to replace. From there it will search the drive and show a list of successful files found and ask if you wish to overwrite.

@lautrepay

Thanks.


@Checker

Weird. None of us was served the .zip package upon clicking on the green download button. I don't know, maybe your machine already has the Tucows downloader.

Checker on 2015-03-28 10:22

@ I am Baas: Yes, that's weird, because I tried it later on other PCs and got only the installer.
Maybe it depends on the browser you use. I still use an old Opera-version (Opera@USB 10.0) for most of my work and there I got the ZIP.
On PC with Firefox 32.0.4, I got the installer

... that's weird!

Stoic Joker on 2010-01-07 01:19

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.

j36047 on 2010-01-07 14:26

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?
