Hello:
Please allow me to start by apologizing for my
ignorance. I am confident that I am not nearly as knowledgeable as your
average customer. I am simply a output device (Printer, Copier, Fax)
sales person with a decent knowledge of LAN and LAN Printing technologies
trying to learn more about host printing solutions and sell host printing
technology and hardware to my clients.
I was referred to Ethereal as a very good and free utility
that would allow me to capture print data-stream. From this I have
indirect access to a group of people that can analyze the data stream and
advise what kind of printing the client is doing and then recommend a course of
action to designing a solution.
I have sued Ethereal to capture packets from a workstation
that I sent a few print jobs from which create Unix or AS400 print job. The
suspicion is the environment is using IPDS to print but what I can’t
figure out from the documentation or the application is how to filter just the
print data from all the other things that make Ethereal so powerful yet and
again – way over my head.
Could you please advise the best resource or way to proceed –
all I want to do is capture print data streams and then send them for analysis.
Can you please help.
Thank you again and I am sorry for not being more
knowledgeable – as you know learning is a process and I am just at the beginning
of it.
Have a great day.
