Detailed Description

Internal printer description

This structure is intendend to be part of a linked list to manage 'known' printing providers. Each printing provider or printer driver registers itself at the printing coordinator and thus, such an individual structure exists for its lifetime.

Field Documentation

id

caps_identifier id

Unique identifier of this provider/printer. The value is generated here and used by the provider for each of its requests

property

unsigned property

Unique provider property to validate a request. The value is provided by the transport layer (here DBUS for example) to have a simple mechanism to check if the provider and its reported ID correspond with the one, who has initially registered this provider. It will also be used to remove orphaned providers, if the transport layer detects the provider seems gone without unregister itself before. Refer pc_provider_orphaned_printer_free() versus pc_provider_printer_id_free() for details
