Helge,

sorry, seems my english is too bad, so I was misunderstood. I don't want
to develop a new tool. I expected to get a printers status even if it is
an ipp printer on a different cups server. But - as I stated - I don't
get anything. I just want to know
- if my expectations are wrong, or otherwise
- why I get no data.

Thanks a lot in advance.
