Printer (CUPS)

Control printers on macOS using built-in CUPS commands. No external CLI needed.

Discover printers

# Network printers (Bonjour/AirPrint) dns-sd -B _ipp._tcp . 2>/dev/null & sleep 3; kill $! 2>/dev/null # Get printer details (host, port, resource path) dns-sd -L "Printer Name" _ipp._tcp . 2>/dev/null & sleep 3; kill $! 2>/dev/null # CUPS-native discovery lpstat -e # available network destinations lpinfo --include-schemes dnssd -v # dnssd backends # IPP discovery ippfind --timeout 5

Add a printer (driverless IPP Everywhere)

# Recommended: driverless queue lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v "ipp://printer.local:631/ipp/print" -m everywhere # Set as default lpadmin -d MyPrinter # Enable SNMP supply reporting (toner levels) sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -o cupsSNMPSupplies=true

Print files

lp filename.pdf # to default printer lp -d MyPrinter filename.pdf # specific printer lp -d MyPrinter -n 2 file.pdf # 2 copies lp -d MyPrinter -o sides=two-sided-long-edge file.pdf # duplex lp -d MyPrinter -o media=letter file.pdf lp -d MyPrinter -o ColorModel=Gray file.pdf # grayscale # Print text directly echo "Hello World" | lp -d MyPrinter

Queue management

# Check status lpstat -p MyPrinter # printer status lpstat -o MyPrinter # queued jobs lpstat -t # everything lpq -P MyPrinter # BSD-style queue view # Cancel jobs cancel JOB_ID cancel -a MyPrinter # cancel all # Enable/disable cupsenable MyPrinter # resume printing cupsdisable MyPrinter # pause printer cupsaccept MyPrinter # accept new jobs cupsreject MyPrinter # reject new jobs

Printer options

# List available options for a printer lpoptions -p MyPrinter -l # Set default options (per-user) lpoptions -p MyPrinter -o sides=two-sided-long-edge # Set server-side defaults sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -o sides-default=two-sided-long-edge

Status and diagnostics

# IPP status query (detailed) ipptool -t ipp://PRINTER_IP/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test # Filter for key info ipptool -t ipp://PRINTER_IP/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test \ | grep -iE 'printer-state|marker|supply|media|error'

Wake printer from sleep

# IPP poke (usually wakes the printer) ipptool -q -T 5 ipp://PRINTER_IP/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test # HTTP poke (wakes web UI stack) curl -s -m 5 http://PRINTER_IP/ >/dev/null # TCP connect test nc -zw2 PRINTER_IP 631

Keep-alive (prevent deep sleep)

# Poll every 5 minutes (runs in foreground) ipptool -q -T 3 -i 300 ipp://PRINTER_IP/ipp/print get-printer-attributes.test For persistent keep-alive, create a launchd agent.

Toner levels via SNMP

Requires brew install net-snmp: snmpwalk -v2c -c public PRINTER_IP 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1 Note: SNMP may be disabled on the printer. Check Remote UI settings.

Remote UI (web interface)

Most network printers expose a web UI at http://PRINTER_IP/ for: Sleep/timer settings (Settings > Timer Settings > Auto Sleep Time) Network protocol config (enable/disable IPP, SNMP, raw 9100) Consumables status

Troubleshooting

# Printer stuck/disabled? Re-enable it cupsenable MyPrinter # Check device URI lpstat -v MyPrinter # Remove and re-add printer lpadmin -x MyPrinter lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v "ipp://..." -m everywhere # CUPS error log tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log

Notes

Prefer ipp:// or ipps:// URIs over raw 9100 or LPD -m everywhere auto-configures from printer's IPP capabilities Option names vary by printer; use lpoptions -l to discover Sleep settings are best configured via printer's Remote UI Auto-sleep (1 min) keeps services alive - print jobs wake the printer automatically If the printer is completely unresponsive (IPP port closed, HTTP timeout), it's likely in deep sleep or powered off. Message the user to check/wake the printer physically.
