In this section you will learn how to get information about detected printers:
For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminformation as follows:
const si = require('systeminformation');Detected Printers
All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)
| Function | Result object | Linux | BSD | Mac | Win | Sun | Comments | 
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| si.printer(cb) | [{...}] | X | X | X | printer informatiom | ||
| [0].id | X | X | X | internal ID | |||
| [0].name | X | X | X | printer name | |||
| [0].model | X | X | X | printer model | |||
