Script for reporting network printers
Does anyone have a script that would detect (and create a flat-file) of all printing devices (printers/plotters) attached on a network? I need a single script or tool that would allow me to collect a data file for our asset management tool.

Example format:
manufacturer, model name, serial number, DNS name (lp2000.rmrs.fs.fed.us), etc, etc

Example file:
Lexmark,Optra C720,xs5s6s5s,lp212.rmrs.fs.fed.us, etc.
HP,Nuvo 3245,xs5s6s5s,lp212.rmrs.fs.fed.us, etc.
Xerox,Super Printer CAS,xs5s6s5s,lp212.rmrs.fs.fed.us, etc.

LEARN ABOUT POSIX

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
