Crate printers 

Get system printers and create and manage print jobs in Windows or Unix.

Printers is a simple lib to call printers apis for unix (cups) and windows (winspool) systems and can provide a list of available printers, send print jobs and manage they

 use printers::{
     common::{
         base::job::PrinterJobOptions,

         },
     },
     get_printer_by_name,
     get_default_printer,
     get_printers
 };

 // Iterate all available printers
 for printer in get_printers() {
     println!("{:?}", printer);
 }

 // Get a printer by the name
 let my_printer = get_printer_by_name("my_printer");
 if my_printer.is_some() {
     let _job_id = my_printer.unwrap().print_file("notes.txt", PrinterJobOptions::none());
     // Err("...") or Ok(())
 }

 // Use the default printer
 let default_printer = get_default_printer();
