knowing if a printer is connected

[JosepM]

Hi,

Also you can use from the shell:

lpstat -p --> to see the available printers
lpstat -d --> to know the default printer name

and to send directly to the printer:

lpr -P <name of the printer> -o page-ranges=1 -o landscape <path to the file
to print>

If you check the lpr command in CUPS manual you can see a lot of options to
control the job sended to the printer. The question is capture the name of
the printer or class. 
The name use "_" for spaces, assigning the name directly don't work, almost
for me.


Salut,
Josep
