getPrinterNetInfo

Get the found printers list. Call after didFinishSearch: is called.

Declaration

- (NSArray *)getPrinterNetInfo;

Return Value

Array of BRPtouchDeviceInfo class.

initWithPrinterName:

Initializer to specify a target printer model. Only the model will be found.

Declaration

- (void)initWithPrinterName:(NSString *)strPrinterName;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
strPrinterName	The target printer model name

initWithPrinterNames:

Initializer to specify target printer models. Only the models will be found.

Declaration

- (void)initWithPrinterNames:(NSArray *)strPrinterNames;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
strPrinterNames	Array of the target printer model names

setPrinterName:

Set the target printer model.

Declaration

- (BOOL)setPrinterName:(NSString *)strPrinterName;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
strPrinterName	The target printer model name

Return Value

NO if strPrinterName is nil, otherwise YES.

setPrinterNames:

Set the target printer models.

Declaration

- (BOOL)setPrinterNames:(NSArray *)strPrinterNames;

NO if strPrinterNames is nil, otherwise YES.

Properties

delegate

Set an object adapted to BRPtouchNetworkDelegate protocol to know the search progress.

Declaration

@property(nonatomic, assign) BOOL isEnableIPv6Search;

BRPtouchNetworkDelegate protocol defines the interface to know the search progress.

didFinishSearch

This delegate method is called when the search is finished.

- (void)didFinishSearch:(id)sender;

didFindDevice:

This delegate method is called when a printer is found.
