Printer

In this section you will learn how to get information about detected printers:

For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminspector as follows:

const si = require('@ambicuity/systeminspector');

Detected Printers

All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)

Function	Result object	Linux	BSD	Mac	Win	Sun	Comments
si.printer(cb)	[{...}]	X		X	X		printer informatiom
	[0].id	X		X	X		internal ID
	[0].name	X		X	X		printer name
	[0].model	X		X	X		printer model
	[0].uri	X		X			printer URI
	[0].uuid	X					printer UUID
	[0].status	X		X	X		printer status (e.g. idle)
	[0].local	X		X	X		is local printer
	[0].default			X	X		is default printer
	[0].shared	X		X	X		is shared printer

Examples

Example

const si = require('@ambicuity/systeminspector');
si.printer().then(data => console.log(data));
