I have a stack system that is being used on laptops (at this point Mac
OSX only). One of my beta testers uses it in three different
locations. Among many other things, the stack prints out notes and
various other text files from within Rev (running in IDE on RevMedia
4.0 -- eventually I'll get to porting it as a standalone). As it
stands now, the user needs to select the currently available printer
using the system preferences. I need a way to discover if the printer
designated as active in the system preferences is actually the one
that is plugged into the USB port. I have a way for the user to change
the printer from within the stack, but I'd like to avoid the situation
where he tries to print something and gets the bobbing printer driver
icon in the dock telling him that that printer is unavailable (because
he's at a different site and forgot to change his printer designation).
The ideal solution would be to be able to detect the currently
connected printer and send any print job automatically to that
printer, but I'd settle for just being able to post an alert when
trying to print to notify him that he is about to use an unavailable
printer. How do I detect what printer is connected? Or at least,
detect if a designated printer is connected or not?
