knowing if a printer is connected

[JosepM]

I'm very glad that this will be usefully for you. As I say, the only  
problem is convert the printer name to use "_". I preparing my own  
stack printer options to print using the shell commands.

Here you can found more info with more deep.

When I have something visible I send you for if can be usefully.


Salut,
Josep
