Hello, I'm a beginner starting test printer. I want to use the PRET tool to capture the printing task and re-print it. Very thanks to provide a platform for connecting the printer. However, when I tried to connect my printer HP LaserJet 5200 Series PCL 5, I could connect it using pret.py, I also could run the capture start process, but when I run "capture list", the list is free. So could you tell me where is the problem with my test. There are three questions which I want to ask. 1.What the printer version the PRET tool supports? Does my printer HP LaserJet 5200 Series PCL 5 supports to run the capture task? 2.If the tool doesn't support the version HP LaserJet 5200 Series PCL 5. could you tell me some ideas how to capture the printer's task and re-print the printer's task. Very hoping for your reply. Thanks very much. If you want to reply by email, please send me emails with jiuiming1010@gmail.com. Thanks.

You can only capture PostScript based print jobs using the "capture" command. The LaserJet 5200 should support PostScript, however you probably have selected PCL 5 as printer driver instead of PS. Also, in the current version of PRET you can only proof-of-concept capture print jobs originating from CUPS' ps2write filter (we're working on this).
