Hi, I have a problem when I want to download a file from my server:

Am I right if I assume that the tool can only download only some file extensions?

Try this one:

edit the script that will send commands in the language of your printer (pjl.py, pcl.py or postscript.py) Add this: import sys reload(sys) sys.setdefaultencoding('iso-8859-1') i hope this helps you

Thank you very much!

ghost,

I can't thank you enough for that. It helps much with certain files containing 8-bit characters.

Between using your solution, running PRET under python 2.7 and using the 'traversal' command instead of the 'cd' command, I'm able to interact as easily as I've ever been with the hard drive storage on our LaserJets.

That includes reading/writing font files (after conversion by Web JetAdmin) and updating my pclResourceFile.

Good work.
