I'm trying to get the supply levels of a printer via the command line. So far I was able to get some information with a
lpoptions
(marker-message
property) command. The problem is that the status of it doesn't update automatically. No matter how many pages I print the result of this command doesn't change.
At the same time, the standard UI (cmd+p) print utility of the macOS can get the proper information from the printer. I did a quick investigation and found out that it calls CUPS ReportLevels
command.
So my question is: is there a way to call that ReportLevels
command manually if so, how it can be done? Or maybe there is another way to force that refresh?
I would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance!
