Crate printer_event_handler

Printer Event Handler

A cross-platform printer status monitoring library for Windows and Linux systems. This library provides functionality to query printer status, monitor printer events, and track printer state changes using platform-specific backends:

• Windows: WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)
• Linux: CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)

Features

• Cross-platform support (Windows and Linux)
• Query all printers on the system
• Monitor specific printers for status changes
• Async/await support with Tokio
• Detailed printer status and error state information
• Platform-specific backends with unified API

Example

use printer_event_handler::{PrinterMonitor, PrinterError};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), PrinterError> {
    let monitor = PrinterMonitor::new().await?;
     
    // List all printers
    let printers = monitor.list_printers().await?;
    for printer in printers {
        println!("Printer: {}", printer.name());
        println!("Status: {}", printer.status_description());
    }
     
    Ok(())
}
