Logging HP Laserjet Printer to a linux machine

[O'Neill, Donald (US - Deerfield)]

You'll need to have y your RHEL 3 machine accept syslog messages from
other devices.. 

Edit the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file and add a -r for the options

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"

Then restart the daemon. 

service syslog restart 

Verify the syslog daemon is accepting connections

nmap -sU -p 514 localhost

Subject: Logging HP Laserjet Printer to a linux machine


Hello,
This maybe slightly OT, but I'm wondering if anyone has done it here and
can 
give me some clues.
I have a networked printer: HP Laserjet 4000 TN. Looks like the printer 
supports having a log transmitted to a syslog server. I want to log all
the 
jobs that got sent to the printer. I can specify the syslog server by 
telnet-ing the printer (ie. telnet <printer_ip>) and then put in the IP
of my 
linux machine as the syslog server (running RHEL 3).

The problem, I have no idea on how to capture those logs. Any pointer ?

PS: I started to look at syslog-ng but it seems to be rather involve for
what 
I want to do right now. I'm wondering if there's easier or quicker way
to 
achieve this, since I though this should be pretty simple /
straightforward.

Thanks in advance for any help.
RDB
