about turbo print ARM Linux

Post by qiyadeng »

I used turbo print in raspberry pi.
I have two questions.
1.I see the turbo print monitor has information about printing.(like ready, load paper..., I want to know ,can I get this message and transform to my monitor system. we can know the print service is ok or not.

2.Some of our user said, he printed,but didn't get paper, but I review the log, everything is ok. So I want to know,if have any method to check the print is ok or not.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

you can retrieve the status messages from the Linux printer spooler (CUPS printing system) - either with the command line tool "lpstat" or using the CUPS API with the IPP command IPP_GET_PRINTER_ATTRIBUTES (see the CUPS documentation for details).

It might also be possible to retrieve the additional information visible in the TurboPrint Spooler (ink levels, detailed printer status), I will investigate if we can provide an API for this.
