XpGetPrinterList(3Xp)                         XPRINT FUNCTIONS                         XpGetPrinterList(3Xp)



NAME
       XpGetPrinterList - Retrieves a list of all printers supported on an X Print Server.

SYNOPSIS
             cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]
             #include <X11/extensions/Print.h>

       XPPrinterList XpGetPrinterList ( display, printer_name, list_count_return )
             Display *display;
             char *printer_name;
             int *list_count_return;

ARGUMENTS
       display
              Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.

       printer_name
              Specifies  the name of the printer for which information is desired. If NULL, then information
              is returned for all printers associated with the server.

       list_count_return
              Returns the number of printers in the list.

DESCRIPTION
       XpGetPrinterList returns a list of printer records where each record describes a printer supported by
       the X Print Server, or NULL if any errors occur.

       If  printer_name  is NULL, then a list of all printers supported is returned. If printer_name is non-NULL, nonNULL,
       NULL, only print records matching printer_name are returned, and if no records match  printer_name  ,
       then NULL is returned.

       printer_name  is a COMPOUND_TEXT string, and the name and desc fields in the returned list will be in
       COMPOUND_TEXT (note, ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) is a  proper  subset  of  COMPOUND_TEXT,  so  can  be  used
       directly).  If printer_name is in a code-set that the X Print Server cannot convert (into its operat-ing operating
       ing code-set), then the X Print Server may fail to locate the requested printer.  If printer_name  is
       NULL, then all printer names, regardless of their code-set, can be returned, leaving the task of spe-cific specific
       cific printer recognition up to the caller.

       When XpGetPrinterList is called, the caller's locale  (see  XpSetLocaleHinter)  is  included  in  the
       request  as  a  "hint"  to the X Print Server. If supported by the implementation, the X Print Server
       will use the hint to locate a localized description for each printer in the  list.  If  the  X  Print
       Server  cannot  understand  the hint, the X Print Server will choose a default.  The returned printer
       list can be freed by calling XpFreePrinterList.

       The XPPrinterList structure defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h> contains:

       typedef struct {
           char *name;     /* name */
           char *desc;     /* localized description */
       } XPPrinterRec, *XPPrinterList;


DIAGNOSTICS
       BadAlloc       Insufficient memory.
