Printer "address info", revisited

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to get addressing info for queues using Tioga drivers on CUPS-based Mac OS X systems (10.2 and later).

On Mac OS 10.1, there was really no good set of APIs in the Print Manager, but there was a file "/var/spool/printing/com.apple.printing.plist" that contained the addressing info. On CUPS systems, more APIs were added to the Print Manager, and also the CUPS APIs could be used as well. However, if the queue uses a Tioga driver (Print Module, I/O Module) rather than a CUPS driver and backend, some of the queue information, like the device URI, is useless. But the file I mentioned above that existed on Mac OS 10.1 systems doesn't seem to exist when Tioga queues are created in Mac OS 10.2. Where can that information be found now?

Thanks for any help,
Smith
