Listing cloud printers with Cloud Print API

Using the GET Printers call

When you develop applications where users print labels with cloud printers, use Cloud Print API to get a list of your printers with Loftware software installed (you can see cloud printers in Control Center under Printers > Cloud Printers):

  1. Sign in to the Developer Portal.

  2. Go to APIs > Cloud Print API - v2. The Cloud Print API page opens.

  3. Go to Printers and click Try it.

  4. Click Send.

In Response content, the Developer Portal displays your printers, installed on all workstations with Loftware Cloud. You get a list of two types of printers:

  • All cloud printers defined in Control Center

  • Printers installed on all workstations with Loftware software.

The deviceType identifies the type of printer:

  • CloudPrinter refers to printers with built-in cloud printing capabilities. Cloud printers must be connected to Loftware Cloud.

  • PrintQueue refers to other (non-cloud) printers, installed on Loftware workstations.
