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

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 would change
though, so
your mileage may vary.

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
doesn't show up in the ioreg listing. What command can I use to see
how the
system identifies a wireless printer? I need to be able to confirm
before
printing from a stack that the wireless connection to the printer
is up and
running.
If it matters, the wireless connection is not a Bonjour connection
-- it's
a PC wireless network. I can print fine using the printer, so the
connection
is good, and functional.
