How to list all available printers from terminal?

Question

I need a command to list available printers in my Ubuntu.

The printers list could be installed or shared?

This list also should state the state of the printer .

Any Help to achieve my goal?

Solution 1

The Command lpstat -p will list all available printers for your Desktop .

And whether or not they are available ( the state of them) .

Solution 2

If you just want the printer names:

lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}'

To see their names and print queues:

lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 lpq -P
