Are you having trouble? PJL is sent like any other text...

The middle article covers accessing the printer.

Thank you. I was able to send the following PJL to the printer and it
worked.

@PJL STMSG DISPLAY = "Hello from John"

Do you have any experience handling PJL responses from the
printer?...What I really want to do is get PJL information back from
the printer and read it in python(or some other Unix scripting tool)
