Printer Status

[vmrakesh]

Hi
Is it posssible to get Printer status (Tray is empty) in CEnt oS 5.1 using the CUPS API through C program.

I have written one c program but it is retuning none value only..

code :
#include <cups/cups.h>
int main()
{
cups_dest_t *dests;
int i=0,j=0;
const char *value;
int num_dests = cupsGetDests(&dests);
printf ( " The number of Printers available is %d\n", num_dests);
for (j =0;j<num_dests;j++,dests++)
{
cups_dest_t *dest = cupsGetDest(dests->name,
dests->instance,
dests->num_options,
dests);
printf("Printer name is %s\n",dest->name);
for (i = 0; i < dest->num_options; i++)
{
if(NULL!= dest->options)
{
printf("The option name is : %s\n",dest->options[i].name);
printf("The value is : %s\n",dest->options[i].value);
}
}
printf("****************************************** ***\n");
}
cupsFreeDests((num_dests), dests);
return 0;
}

outPut :

The number of Printers available is 1
Printer name is printer
The option name is : printer-info
The value is : printer
The option name is : printer-is-accepting-jobs
The value is : 1
The option name is : printer-is-shared
The value is : 1
The option name is : printer-make-and-model
The value is : HP LaserJet 4000 Series Postscript (recommended)
The option name is : printer-state
The value is : 3
The option name is : printer-state-change-time
The value is : 1239031230

*********************************************
The option name is : printer-state-reasons
The value is : none
**********************************************
