Hello,
I'm de-lurking to ask what I hope is an easy question.
Is there an easy way to tell programatically if the printer connected to the parallel port as /dev/lp0 is physically powered on or not.
Does lpstat -a show a different status if it is online or not ?
Or was you looking for something lower level than that ?
