Does 'the availablePrinters' in LiveCode provide anything useful? Maybe its name give some indication that it is connected wirelessly.

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.
