Hi,everyone!
I want to write a program to monitor a network printer and give
statistic data as whom at what time print how many pages.
Is it possible to do this using Ruby? Which library shall I use to do
this?

What interface does the printer support? Generally Ruby comes with a
whole bunch of networking support libraries. It really depends on what
your printer offers.
Kind regards

The best library for monitoring printers is SNMP. All major
manufacturers
will support it. There is a ruby-SNMP project, but it leans a lot on
C libraries for basic support of the protocol (like using your printer
manufacturers MIB file).
Alternatively you could scrape the Web UI of the printer, there must be
at least 6 different Ruby libraries for doing this now.

The printer is connected in a Windows2000 server. All the computers in
the local network can reach the printer. The printer is HP LaserJet
1000. I don’t know what interface it support. Shall I interface directly
with the printer or through the Win2000 server?
