RE: Getting fonts available on printer.

Hi Paul,

What I can understand from your mails is that you are talking about
CUPS backend.Pls correct me if I am wrong.
I don't know much about the CUPS backends . Could you please
elaborate how to create the backends and in what way to send the font query
?
If possible could you please send me some sample which queries the
printer and how the carbon application interfaces with it to collect the
output.
Many thanks for all your help.

Deepak

Deepak,

If you want to use the printing system for this purpose, your code can
exec the pap backend, using the standard pipes to send the font query
to the printer and retrieve the results.
