Getting Printer Status from a Cocoa App

Question

How can I get status on a printer from a Cocoa app.

I would like to get the number of queued jobs and the current status of the printer (running, paused, error, etc).

Thanks

Answer 1

I figured it out. Just use the cups api to get job details for a printer.

int nJobs = cupsGetJobs2(http_, &jobs ,NULL, 0, CUPS_WHICHJOBS_ACTIVE);
