Enumerating Available Printers

By enumerating the available printers, you can identify the printer that you want to print to.

ClosedTo enumerate available printers

  • In the browser, enter the following URI:

    http://localhost/BarTender/api/v1/printers

The return page in the browser is JSON format content that enumerates printers. In this example, there are three printers. In a subsequent step in this tutorial, we will print to the PDF printer.

{

"serverPrinters":["PDF","TEC B-452H","TEC KP-20"],

"remotePrinters":[]

}
