I haven't done this, exactly.

Many years ago I did do something that's somewhat similar with a Ricoh printer. We were trying to keep track of which users use the toner so that we could apply the cost to the appropriate deparment under the GL, etc. We did that with a custom data transform program that had code to insert the userid/passcode into the data stream as it was sent to the printer. (The userid/passcode was figured out by looking up the IBM i userid in a db table.)

It worked, I guess... no idea if that would apply to your Sharp printer, et al.

I'm not seeing a method to do that, although the SNDTCPSPLF has an option to
send controls to the printer, so I'm wondering if that might be of
assistance.

Anyone done that before, with Sharp or any other vendor?
