Hi All,

I there a way to use what is on

to print out a list of my available printers?

Many thanks,

This is the C way, although it shows deleted printers as well:

#include <iostream>
#include <cups/cups.h>

int main() {
cups_dest_t* dests;
int nCount = cupsGetDests2(CUPS_HTTP_DEFAULT, &dests);

for (int i = 0; i < nCount; i++) {
cups_dest_t dest = dests[i];
std::cout << dest.name << std::endl;
}
}
