To be safe, I checked the serverfault guidelines, and I think this question falls under management of 3rd party platforms or administration of networks. I'm sure I'm not the only sysadmin with this question!
On our network, we have about 15 large MFP/Copy machines. I'd like to programatically pull their Account Track data (per user code print counts) and I'm hitting some walls.
- SNMP only provides aggregate data (total print count for the machine)
- No SSH access
- Only a web interface is available (that I know of)
The web interface offers a csv file as a download with account track data, which is pretty good. But I'd love to automate the steps of getting that CSV in the first place.
Is there a way to grab this data? I recognize that the answer may involve scraping the data from the web interface through some type of scripting.
