Enumerating Available Printers (API Tutorial)

By enumerating the available printers, you can 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);
      });
