Get Status Request

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pxml>
<status>
</status>
</pxml>
The type attribute is used to specify the type of status to send, which can

engine
fault
display

Automatic Status Select

Changes in the printer state and some print operations can cause unsolicited
status messages to be sent to the management client. It is possible for the
management client to select the unsolicited messages to be sent. This can
reduce the amount of traffic on the management interface. The printer will
send an Ack message to confirm the status select command.
The printer default for all unsolicited status messages is disabled. To receive
any type of status messages, the select message is necessary to enable that
type of unsolicited status messages.
To enable or disable unsolicited messages, the management client sends the
following command:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pxml>
<status>
</status >
</pxml>
