when I asked about this a long time ago, I was told that ther is no such
thing in openoffice and I should use the api of the language to do this.
for example if you are using java, use the java-api for finding the printers
the code below might help you if you are using java
public String[] getDefinedPrintersOnServer(){
PrintService[] printers =
printServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null,null);
String[] data = new String[printers.length];
for(int i=0; i<printers.length; i++){
data[i] = printers[i].getName();
}
return data;
}
to be able to use these printers in openoffice (in va 1.1.x atleast, hav
enot checked with the 1.9 series) you might have to add < and > around
the name... so if you get "Hp color jet" from the system call, to be
able to use it in openoffice you might have to supply the name "<Hp
color jet>"

I'm able to retrieve the setup of the _current_ printer

printers that exists (on the system naturally :)?
Can't seem to find something like getPrinters() or printerList() :)
