You'll need to have y your RHEL 3 machine accept syslog messages from other devices.. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file and add a -r for the options SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r" Then restart the daemon. service syslog restart Verify the syslog daemon is accepting connections nmap -sU -p 514 localhost www.linuxtech.cc -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Reuben D. Budiardja Sent: Thursday, February 10, 2005 9:37 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Logging HP Laserjet Printer to a linux machine Hello, This maybe slightly OT, but I'm wondering if anyone has done it here and can give me some clues. I have a networked printer: HP Laserjet 4000 TN. Looks like the printer supports having a log transmitted to a syslog server. I want to log all the jobs that got sent to the printer. I can specify the syslog server by telnet-ing the printer (ie. telnet <printer_ip>) and then put in the IP of my linux machine as the syslog server (running RHEL 3). The problem, I have no idea on how to capture those logs. Any pointer ? PS: I started to look at syslog-ng but it seems to be rather involve for what I want to do right now. I'm wondering if there's easier or quicker way to achieve this, since I though this should be pretty simple / straightforward. Thanks in advance for any help. RDB -- Reuben D. Budiardja Dept.
