I need to perform a data export using the web interface from our local school printer ( to monitor how many copies are done by which account on a daily basis ). This thing ( it's a big Konica printer) has no Web API, and no for-a-school-affordable SW solution that would do the monitoring, which leaves me with two options:
- Remote-connect to the school server everyday, connect to the printer using a browser via the web-interface (there is a web portal when you connect to the printer using its IP address), navigate to the export page and export the data.
- Automate this to some extent.
Is there any way to "emulate" the navigating on the web page and make the export ? I see no other option here, and I presume that there must be some way to simulate a navigation on a website (how do you guys who do web development make use-cases tests ?).
I'll be happy to open that in Q&A if it turns too programmingquestionly, just wanted to have some general opnions about the direction to take.
OK, nevermind everybody, here you go[^].

It IS a programming question, but I do not care much...
What involved in the exporting procedure? Choice? Click of a button?
(what is the exact model of the printer?)

Where I am now exporting involves pallets and/or in sea containers, forklifts, trucks, shrink wrap, cartons, tape ... and lots of documentation.
would also like your suggestions how to make this into a button click.
It's really hard work,
... I can watch it all day.

This could produce some non-Lounge/techy discussion of possible solutions, etc. I would put this in Q&A.

Well, that didn't last, did it?

Nice! I was going mad, thinking intern, internee, inter, interment, buried alive... But then I drew back from the brink. Too much coffee.

The one with the ionized cats?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Actually I was going to take home a bottle of Gordon's Gin, but the bottles in my super market looked strange and not like the ones I'm used to at all. While hunting around for the real thing, I stumbled across this: Hayman's Sloe Gin.
I love anything with sloe, so I took that bottle home and am now enjoying this "sloely"!
Cheers!
