A method for controlling a data processing device connected to a computer via an interface wherein a device specific command is generated on the computer by an application program, the command is stored in a special file and is then transmitted by the computer to the device with the aid of a write instruction of the computer operating system. The special file is received by the device, the device specific command is read out from the special file and the device processor executes the command. The method allows the device processor to execute a device specific command exclusively using the write instruction of the computer's own operating system without requiring particular administrator rights.
