I can probably get this to work, since my handler already relies on
asking the user once for the USB printer identification then storing
it so the user never has to be asked again. If I can identify the
wireless network I can associate a printer with it, store that
printername, and then
-I is for information, just a command line switch, as you say, no part of
the filename. airport -I (cap I) make sure the space is there.
If you want to see the other switches, switch to that directory in terminal
manually run the command with the -h switch.
./airport -h
and it will show a short

The printername gives the name of the printer currently selected in
the print dialog, ie, the default printer. On my MacBook, this will be
the last printer used. But that will not necessarily be the name of
the currently connected printer, if I have changed venues. I'm trying
to find a way
Can you come at it from a different direction? Can you check current SSID
against a printer list to select which printer you want? Assuming you always
go to the same set of networks, this should have a similar affect yes? Set
it up once, save the printer name, next time you need to print check
I'm looking for the shell command that would include in its output
something that would identify a printer that is currently wirelessly
connected to my MacBook. I can use shell(ioreg) to get info on a
printer connected via USB (after some parsing), but my wireless
printer connection
lpq should do what you want. Will show all print queues and their status
for example, my wireless printer returns
_3500_4500_Series_MAC:002000148b45 is ready
no entries
no entries of course meaning that there are no queued documents. I didn't
try shutting my printer down to see if the status
lpq I'm not sure of -- it gives some odd output here with my home
wireless printer. But a search sent me in the direction of lpstat,
which looks promising. I'll test it out in the next few days. Thanks

Maybe its name give some indication that it is connected wirelessly.
