I am trying to retrieve all the trays available for a printer, but I can't find a way to retrieve a list of the available trays.
This is how I am getting the printers:
>>> import cups
>>> conn = cups.Connection ()
>>> printers = conn.getPrinters ()
>>> for printer in printers:
... print printer, printers[printer]["device-uri"]
Brother_MFC_1910W_series
Photosmart_6520_series
It works just fine, but there's no information about trays in printers. Any help or reference is much appreciated thanks.
For the record, I'm working on OS X.
Well after several attempts here's what I've done in order to get the trays.
For each Printer I've found, I look into /etc/cups/ppd/ for the printer_name.ppd file, in which I can find every details I need trays included.
It's also useful as I can get the trays in each language supported in the PPDs file.
