I have a stack system that is being used on laptops (at this point Mac
OSX only). One of my beta testers uses it in three different
locations. Among many other things, the stack prints out notes and
various other text files from within Rev (running in IDE on RevMedia

You can also get the names of the printers with:

Here's another OS X shell command that will list only the USB printers
turned on. Unfortunately, it doesn't list them by their full names.
Here's the code (in a button):
on mouseUp
put shell("ioreg") into tList
filter tList with "*IOUSBDevice*"
put the number of lines in tList & cr & tLis
ol the job sended to the printer. The question is capture the name of

The name use "_" for spaces, assigning the name directly don't work, almost
for me.

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 -o page-ranges=1 -o landscape
If you check the lpr command in CU

Yeah, I discovered that one already. Many different ways of getting
the printers that are in the system preferences printing panel. But
apparently no way of telling which one is actually connected and
"live." It's hard to believe that the system is unaware of this piece
of info until a prin
This seems to do it for me as well. I'm trying this (watch linewraps)

Hi Peter,
If you filter out all lines from "ioreg" output except ones that contain
"IOUSBCompositeDevice", do you see the printer name in any line? If so,
maybe available printer names could be matched to the device names in
"IOUSBDevice" and "IOUSBCompositeDevice" records.

There is only that one entry in the ioreg output that contains
"IOUSBCompositeDevice" and that entry disappears if I unplug that
printer, so it's undoubtedly the listing for my laserjet. But there is
nothing in the ioreg listing that identifies the printer more
specifically, and thus there
Here is the debugged script. It turned out to be more complicated than
I thought, as usual. (Murphy was a programmer, right?)
Call "checkPrinter" before any printing commands. The first time you
plug in a never-encountered printer and try to print something you
will be asked to identify the
