Re: Printer List from CUPS

Hi,

I want to get the printer list from CUPS. I found some ways using

lpstat -p and
http://localhost:631/printers

but, these ways require some parsing and I am not sure, if the parsing
works all the time. A pythonic way would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Mike


The HPLIP project (hpinkjet.sf.net) includes a basic CUPS extension module in the src/prnt/cupsext directory. Its pretty rough, but it will return a list of CUPS printers easily enough. I am in the process of rewriting it in Pyrex and hope to include more complete CUPS API coverage.
