We can also find out more about any printer queue served by iPrint, through the program ipptool.
With a properly formatted printerinfo.ipp
# Get printer information { # The name of the test NAME "PrinterInfo" # The request to send OPERATION Get-Printer-Attributes GROUP operation-attributes-tag ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8 ATTR language attributes-natural-language en-us ATTR uri printer-uri $uri ATTR name requesting-user-name $user ATTR keyword requested-attributes printer-name,printer-make-and-model,printer-location STATUS successful-ok # What to display in text mode DISPLAY printer-name DISPLAY printer-make-and-model DISPLAY printer-location }
one can get the desired information:
apprentice@pc:~$ ipptool -Il ipp://iprint01.prn.mydomain.com/ipp/PRN104208 printerinfo.ipp
printer-name printer-make-and-model printer-location

PRN104208 RICOH Aficio SP 8200DN PS MYP-5431-0133-Ricoh MSP8200DNR, LocalPlaza 11.
In fact, one gets pretty much all the available information from the printer is one comment out
# ATTR keyword requested-attributes # printer-name,printer-make-and-model,printer-location
and does:
apprentice@pc:~$ ipptool -IX ipp://iprint01.prn.mydomain.com/ipp/PRN104208 printerinfo.ipp
