Here's another OS X shell command that will list only the USB printers
turned on. Unfortunately, it doesn't list them by their full names.
Here's the code (in a button):
on mouseUp
put shell("ioreg") into tList
filter tList with "*IOUSBDevice*"
put the number of lines in tList & cr & tList into fld "list2"
end mouseUp
Here's the output on my machine:
8
| | | +-o IR recei...@4500000 <class IOUSBDevice, registered,
matched, active, busy 0, retain 8>
| | | +-o Apple Cinema disp...@24320000 <class IOUSBDevice,

| | | +-o Apple keybo...@26220000 <class IOUSBDevice,
registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain 9>
Line 5 above is the USB printer.
When I turn the printer off and run the code again, I get 7 lines and
the printer line is missing.
This printer shows up in "the availablePrinters" list as "Canon iP1700".
So there's a partial association between the 2 sets of data.
FWIW -

You can also get the names of the printers with:
put the availablePrinters into tList
