Get the Weather on your HP 4200
Miscellany: Get the Weather on your HP 4200
The program uses the perl Geo::METAR module to parse METAR weather information from NOAA. You’ll need to install the module if you don’t already have it (and you probably don’t). Install it using ActiveState’s PPM for Windows and the CPAN program (or OS package manager) for everything else. You will also need to know your ICAO airport code and the IP address of your printer.
I have a bunch of HP printers here at work, and I would love to be able to push weather updates to their LCD screens instead of just saying “Ready”
