Web Based Printer Log

[mikeytown2]

This makes a log file of the log file... the file stored on the printer only holds 22 entries, so this makes one big log file of all the entries on your c drive.

If you want to test it out here is a live address of a dell laser printer i found on google

http://146.6.127.19/ews/job/log.htm

This script is tested only on a 3000, the link is for a 5100

I commented out the no tray to post, but I run this at startup so I don't want to see it. it runs 24/7 on my computer.

Tell me what you think.
