Printers

Every ezeep Blue Connector has to register their connected printer at the ezeep Backend. Here we will go through how to register a printer with an existing connector. To see how connectors are being created go here.

Add a Printer

Creates a printer object owned by an ezeep Blue Connector.


POST "https://api2.ezeep.com/printing/v1/printers/"
Attribute Type required type
name string yes unique name of printer (max 255 chars)
status string yes “Online”, “Offline”, “Inproperly Configured” (printer status)
tp_id integer no unique printer id (1-2147483646) per connector
supported_formats string array no “RAW”, “PDF”, “XPS”
vendor_name string no string (max_len: 255)
model_name string no string (max_len: 255)
location string no string
pnp_id string no IEEE1284 PnP id string

The connector has to be sent as HTTP header field value X-Host-Id.

Delete a Printer

This endpoint deletes a printer object including all depending associations (e.g. printer policies, user/group assignments, printer preferences).


DELETE "https://api2.ezeep.com/printing/v1/printers/<printer_id>/"

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | :—————: | :—–: | :——: | :———————————————————–: | | connector_id | string | yes | uuid of connector to be deleted |


Example Request

Blob Capabilities

Each ezeep Blue Printer has a certain number of capabilities that can be overridden. Here is explained how to overwrite and read the capabilities. Currently the capabilities ‘colors’, ‘trays’, ‘options’, ‘papers’, ‘resolutions’ are available. For each capability there is a default capability, which is set by the driver or the printer itself, and a custom capability. The custom capability is the overriding value of a user of the capability.
