NAME
Net::CUPS::Destination - CUPS Destination Object SYNOPSIS
use Net::CUPS::Destination; my $printer = $cups->getDestination( "lj4200dn" ); my $name = $printer->getName(); my @options = $printer->getOptions(); my $jobid = $printer->printFile( $filename, $title ); DESCRIPTION
Net::CUPS is an object oriented interface to the Common Unix Printing System. Net::CUPS::Destination is an abstraction of the concept of a destination in CUPS. Destinations will most likely be a printer, but it can be any type of target in which a file is sent for processing. METHODS
addOption $dest->addOption( $name, $value ); Method to add another option name/value pair to the destination. cancelJob my $dest->cancelJob( $jobid ); Method to chancel a job sent to this destination. getDescription my $description = $dest->getDescription(); Provides the description string associated with this printer. getError my $error = $dest->getError(); Utility method for returning the last error that occured. getName my $name = $dest->getName(); Method to return the name of the destination. getJob my $job = $dest->getJob( $jobid ) Method to get a specific job as a hash of attributes. getJobs my @jobs = $dest->getJobs( $whose, $scope ); This method will return an array of job identifiers. $whose is 0 for all users and 1 is just for the selected user. $scope is -1 for all jobs, 0 for active jobs and 1 for completed jobs. getLocation Returns the location string for this destination. getOptionValue my $value = $dest->getOptionValue( $name ); This utility method will return the value of the selected option. getOptions my @options = $dest->getOptions(); This method will return an array of the options currently set on the destination. printFile my $jobid = $dest->printFile( $filename, $title ); I know this is the method that you have been looking for. This is what you will use to send a file to handled by the destination. You must provide the name of the file and a title for the job. getUri my $uri = $dest->getUri(); This function returns the device URI of a destination. For example, a network printer might appear as socket://192.168.1.1 SEE ALSO

NAME
backend - cups backend transmission interfaces SYNOPSIS
backend job user title num-copies options [ filename ] DESCRIPTION
The CUPS backend interface provides a standard method for sending document files to different physical interfaces. Backends must be capable of reading from a filename on the command-line or from the standard input, copying the standard input to a tempo- rary file if required by the physical interface. The command name (argv[0]) is set to the device URI of the destination printer. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are defined by the CUPS server when executing the backend: CHARSET The default text character set (typically us-ascii or iso-8859-1). CLASS When a job is submitted to a printer class, contains the name of the destination printer class. Otherwise this environment variable will not be set. CONTENT_TYPE The MIME type associated with the file (e.g. application/postscript). CUPS_DATADIR The directory where data files can be found. CUPS_SERVERROOT The root directory of the server. DEVICE_URI The device-uri associated with the printer; this is provided for shell scripts which may not be able to get the passed argv[0] string. LANG The default language locale (typically C or en). PATH The standard execution path for external programs that may be run by the backend. PPD The full pathname of the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for this printer. PRINTER The name of the printer. RIP_CACHE The recommended amount of memory to use for Raster Image Processors (RIPs). SOFTWARE The name and version number of the server (typically CUPS/1.1). TZ The timezone of the server. USER The user executing the backend (typically lp). SEE ALSO
