Call checkPrinter before any printing commands. The first time you
plug in a never-encountered printer and try to print something you
will be asked to identify the
This worked for me on my home printer, and I had high hopes for it,
but if fails this morning here at work. The problem seems to be that
with some printers the listing from the ioreg call has little relation
to the name of the printer. For instance, my Brother laserjet MFC 8220

Hi Peter,
If you filter out all lines from ioreg output except ones that contain

There is only that one entry in the ioreg output that contains
IOUSBCompositeDevice and that entry disappears if I unplug that
printer, so it's undoubtedly the listing for my laserjet. But there is

Yeah, I discovered that one already. Many different ways of getting
the printers that are in the system preferences printing panel. But
apparently no way of telling which one is actually connected and
live. It's hard to believe that the system is unaware of this piece
of info until a print

Hi,
Also you can use from the shell:
lpstat -p -- to see the available printers
lpstat -d -- to know the default printer name
and to send directly to the printer:
lpr -P name of the printer -o page-ranges=1 -o landscape path to the file
