So basically. I am able to connect to my printer through the ps protocol and start a capture using 'capture start'. Then I print something as a test, and I do 'capture list'. Ecept when I do that this is what I see;

┌──(root㉿***)-[/home/******/PRET]
└─# python2 pret.py 192.168.2.5 ps

(Removed ASCII art for posting purposes)

Welcome to the pret shell. Type help or ? to list commands.

As you can see in the part I made bold, it does capture jobs of the printer, but it doesn't let me fetch them or show any information on them like the size, user, jobname and creator. Is this because of a security feature in the printer, because of thhe capture threshold or something else?
Some additional info;

Hi Jensvoid, not meant to be rude, but I saw you had replied to someone experiencing sort of the same problems as me, maybe you can shed some more information and a possible fix/tell me if I did something wrong?

Thanks in advance
