PARAMETERS

attributes
a set of attributes to be applied to a printer
object

filter
a filter to be applied during printer enumeration

handle
a pointer to a handle to be used for all PAPI
operations, created by calling papiServiceCreate()

job_attributes
unused

jobs
a pointer to a list to return job objects
(initialized to NULL) enumerated by
papiPrinterGetJobs()

max_num_jobs
the maximum number of jobs to return from a
papiPrinterGetJobs() request

message
a message to be associated with a printer while
disabled or paused

name
the name of the printer object being operated on

printer
a pointer to a printer object (initialized to
NULL) to be filled in by papiPrinterQuery(),
papiPrinterAdd(), and papiPrinterModify()

printers
a pointer to a list to return printer objects
(initialized to NULL) enumerated by
papiPrintersList()

requested_attrs
a null-terminated array of pointers to attribute
names requested during printer enumeration
(papiPrintersList()), printer query
(papiPrinterQuery()), or job enumeration
(papiPrinterListJobs())

type_mask
a bit field indicating which type of jobs to
return PAPI_LIST_JOBS_OTHERS include jobs
submitted by others. The default is to report
only on your own jobs

PAPI_LIST_JOBS_COMPLETED

include completed jobs

PAPI_LIST_JOBS_NOT_COMPLETED

include jobs not complete

PAPI_LIST_JOBS_ALL

report on all jobs

DESCRIPTION

The papiPrintersList() function retrieves the requested attributes
from the print service(s) for all available printers. Because the
Solaris implementation is name service-enabled, applications should
retrieve only the printer-name and printer-uri-supported attributes
using this function, thereby reducing the overhead involved in
generating a printer list. Further integration of printer state and
capabilities can be performed with papiPrinterQuery().

The papiPrinterAdd(), papiPrinterModify(), and papiPrinterRemove()
functions allow for creation, modification, and removal of print
queues. Print queues are added or modified according to the
attribute list passed into the call. A printer object is returned
that reflects the configuration of the printer after the addition or
modification has been applied. At this time, they provide only
minimal functionality and only for the LP print service.

The papiPrinterDisable() and papiPrinterEnable() functions allow
applications to turn off and on queueing (accepting print requests)
for a print queue. The papiPrinterEnable() and papiPrinterDisable()
functions allow applications to turn on and off print job processing
for a print queue.

The papiPrinterPause() function stops queueing of print jobs on the
named print queue.

The papiPrinterResume() function resumes queueing of print jobs on
the named print queue.

The papiPrinterPurgeJobs() function allows applications to delete all
print jobs that it has privilege to remove. A list of cancelled jobs
is returned in the jobs argument.

The papiPrinterListJobs() function enumerates print jobs on a
particular queue. papiPrinterGetAttributeList() retrieves an
attribute list from a printer object.

The papiPrinterGetAttributeList() function retrieves an attribute
list from a printer object returned from papiPrinterQuery(),
papiPrintersList(), papiPrinterModify(), and papiPrinterAdd(). This
attribute list can be searched for various information about the
printer object.

The papiPrinterFree() and papiPrinterListFree() functions deallocate
memory allocated for the return of printer object(s) from functions
that return printer objects.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, all functions that return a value return
PAPI_OK. Otherwise, they return an appropriate papi_status_t()
indicating the type of failure.

Upon successful completion, papiPrinterGetAttributeList() returns a
pointer to the requested data. Otherwise, it returns NULL.
