It seems like your printer uses Javascript to redirect the page to the right location.

Wget does not understand Javascript.

The simple solution here would be for you to make the request directly to the redirected page: 

$ wget -q http://192.168.8.93/wcd/index.html?access=JOB_DON

  • Please don't use images of text. It makes it very difficult to read. Update your original post with any new information

  • Also, if you see the HTML source, it is making yet another javascript redirection. Unfortunately, you're going to have to manually follow all of these. None of the simple HTTP tools understand javascript. Selenium does, but it is too huge a project to throw at something this small.
