#13Getting this: "Public Print Queue SPOOL/TEST 2012-12-09T14:12Z SPOOL/IDEAS 2012-12-13T23:26Z SPOOL/NOTES 2012-12-19T00:28Z"
If you hit `/SPOOL/{TEST,IDEAS,NOTES}` you get some binary data; `file` tells me it's "HP PCL printer data". Not sure what to do next with that...
I wonder if there is a PCL viewer for OS X... It's really meant to be just for spooling data.
Edit: installing GhostPDL now.

_why was a notable member of the Ruby community who disappeared without trace one day. He wrote Why's (poignant) Guide to Ruby, which was how many people started learning the language.

Got an HP LaserJet around? Two lines of PJL and you can send it to the printer... I wonder if there is a PCL viewer for OS X... It's really meant to be just for spooling data. Edit: installing GhostPDL now.
