Enumerating Available Printers (API Tutorial)

By enumerating the available printers, you will be able to identify the printer that you want to print to.

In the browser, enter the following URI:

http://localhost/BarTender/api/v1/printers

The return page in the browser is JSON format content that enumerates printers. In this example, there are three printers. In a subsequent step in this tutorial, we will print to the PDF printer.

{

"serverPrinters":["PDF","TEC B-452H","TEC KP-20"],

"remotePrinters":[]

}

Copy

let basePrintPortalURL = "https://example.com/Bartender/api/v1/";
let printPortalPrinters = "printers/";
let token = "token_value_from_authentication_call";

fetch(basePrintPortalURL + printPortalPrinters, {
    method: 'get',
    headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
  },
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(result => {
        console.log('Success:', result);
      })
      .catch(error => {
        console.error('Error:', error);
      });
