    99 PyKota is known to work fine with HP Laserjet 2100 and 2200    
    100 networked printers, and should work with any SNMP-enabled  
    101 network printer capable of outputing its lifetime printed pages  
    102 number. 
    103  
    104 If your printers don't support SNMP, then making them work with  
    105 PyKota is up to you. Some sample scripts which can query non-SNMP  
    106 printers for their lifetime page counter are included in the  
    107 ./untested directory. You'll have to test and adapt them though, and  
    108 define them as external requesters in the PyKota configuration file.
