Re: IP Address of a network printer ?

Mansur,
Take what I am about to say with a large grain of salt.
I don't know if you are building PDE/PBM/CUPS filter/CUPS backend or
whadevah.

However if you want to get the IP address of an existing CUPS printer
( postscript printer built with Jaguar).... a possible quick and dirty way
might be...

Mac OS X CUPS maintains a configuration(text) file for all existing
printers at '/private/etc/cups/printers.conf' take a peek at the 'Device
URI' line for each printer and see if it helps you.
- lpd printers should have useful addresses
- pap ( AppleTalk printers ) addresses are a little more arcane
parse that pup programmatically and you may be good to go.
