XpGetPrinterList(3Xp)						 XPRINT FUNCTIONS					     XpGetPrinterList(3Xp)

NAME

       XpGetPrinterList - Retrieves a list of all printers supported on an X Print Server.

SYNOPSIS

	     cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ]
	     #include <X11/extensions/Print.h>

       XPPrinterList XpGetPrinterList ( display, printer_name, list_count_return )
	     Display *display;
	     char *printer_name;
	     int *list_count_return;

ARGUMENTS

       display
	      Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.

       printer_name
	      Specifies  the  name of the printer for which information is desired. If NULL, then information is returned for all printers associ-
	      ated with the server.

       list_count_return
	      Returns the number of printers in the list.

DESCRIPTION

       XpGetPrinterList returns a list of printer records where each record describes a printer supported by the X Print Server, or  NULL  if  any
       errors occur.

       If  printer_name  is  NULL,  then  a  list  of all printers supported is returned. If printer_name is non-NULL, only print records matching
       printer_name are returned, and if no records match printer_name , then NULL is returned.

       printer_name is a COMPOUND_TEXT string, and the name and desc fields in the returned list  will	be  in	COMPOUND_TEXT  (note,  ISO  8859-1
       (Latin-1)  is  a  proper subset of COMPOUND_TEXT, so can be used directly). If printer_name is in a code-set that the X Print Server cannot
       convert (into its operating code-set), then the X Print Server may fail to locate the requested printer.  If printer_name is NULL, then all
       printer names, regardless of their code-set, can be returned, leaving the task of specific printer recognition up to the caller.

       When  XpGetPrinterList is called, the caller's locale (see XpSetLocaleHinter) is included in the request as a "hint" to the X Print Server.
       If supported by the implementation, the X Print Server will use the hint to locate a localized description for each printer in the list. If
       the X Print Server cannot understand the hint, the X Print Server will choose a default.  The returned printer list can be freed by calling
       XpFreePrinterList.

       The XPPrinterList structure defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h> contains:

       typedef struct {
	   char *name;	   /* name */
	   char *desc;	   /* localized description */
       } XPPrinterRec, *XPPrinterList;

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadAlloc       Insufficient memory.
