ABSTRACT:
Provided are a computer implemented method, system, and program for enabling access to information from a device. A device program is generated to access device property information from the device. Each device property indicates a state of the device and the device program includes device specific commands to query the device for information on the device properties and device independent statements common to device programs for other devices to buffer the queried property information to return to requesting clients. The device program is stored in a computer readable medium.
