Getting fonts available on printer.

Hi All,

I am facing the following problem.
Actually what I want to do is to connect to the printer
directly and the query the printer to get the list of fonts available on the
printer.


Before MAC OS X there was 'PAPA' resource using which we can
get the printer name and other info and a LWDF (Laserwriter) resource which
had
the functions (in Hexdecimal form) which were equivalent to
the PAP client interface. We used to use these function pointers to
communicate with the
printer. Now that 'PAPA' resource is not supported on OS X
and not even aware of the fact if there is some updated PAP client available
I am trying to implement the functionality of what was possible
using that interface. I opted to use the PAP using Open Transport. But came
to know later that pap endpoints are no longer supported in
carbon.

Can any body please help me what all to use to get the list
of fonts available at the printer. It is not specific to any printer.

thnx & rgds
Deepak Kapila
