Hey, I've got a Sony Dye-Sub printer that holds ink/paper sets - i.e. a very certain amount of ink and paper for ~200 prints.

This information is available to me from within Control Panel > Printers > Preferences > Printer Device Information (i.e. current 189 remaining prints).

Any way I can perhaps get this information from the command line? I'd like to write a little program to tell me when the number of prints gets low (i.e. < 20), rather than suffer the annoying Windows "run out of paper" popup.

I've found the Windows VBScript print utilities, but can't seem to find the request I need for this.

Any suggestions?

Jason
