I am trying to write a program in cocoa that will create a list of all
printers currently available and their types. The NSPrint and related
classes are part of the Application framework which is not available
when creating a Tool. These classes also seem to be mainly for
applications that wish to print their documents.
What I would like to do is locate the names of postscript printers that
have been set up with the Printcenter application and then fire off a
'/usr/sbin/Print' command to send a PDF file to the printer. If there
is some way to send a PDF file to other than a postscript printer it
would be even better but the Print command (whose manpage doesn't agree
with the program) seems to require a PS printer.
