Yes but the suposedly 'technos' allow themselves to be blinded by the 
marketers. 

Even I missed the obvious first-step-probe/solution !!
Just plug the rPi's eth0 to the printer/S socket in place of the LAN's.

What script-code would allow the rPi to test/probe the printer/S?

I only print 5 x 4 == 20 pages a year, so I can do that before the 
printer/s are powered-up in the morning.
