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.

We have a need to send a login ID to a Sharp MX-N654N MFP printer.
The goal is to have the user scan the badge to get spool files that
are theirs, and not have print outs just stack up so anyone can grab them.



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?
