I found this, which lets you see all devices connected to USB:

ioreg -p IOUSB -w0 | sed 's/[^o]*o //; s/@.*$//' | grep -v '^Root.*'

Right. I need a way of detecting which printer is currently connected via USB. 
Any other ideas?

 Anyone know how to get a listing of the currently connected printer on a
 Mac? I used to do this on my (very) old MacBook via a shell call:
 put shell("ioreg") into tList
 and then parse the list to find the connected printer name.
 
 And I now have a new MacBook Pro, and I can’t find anything resembling a
 printer in the IO registry list.
 
 Any ideas?

Interesting.  If it returns zombie printers, its not exactly helpful.

Was curious what that does. For me it returns a list of all the printers my Mac 
has seen in the last few years, and currently I have no active printers on my 
network at home.
