The HPLIP project (hpinkjet.sf.net) includes a basic CUPS extension module in the src/prnt/cupsext directory. Its pretty rough, but it will return a list of CUPS printers easily enough. I am in the process of rewriting it in Pyrex and hope to include more complete CUPS API coverage. -Don -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
