You want to look at the cupsGetDevices API.

When you click one, it shows various information about that printer, including "Connection", with values like "socket:10.2..." or "usb://HP/..." How can I programmatically get that information for a printer? I've looked thru the CUPS API but can't see any way to do so. I know how to get a list of destinations but that doesn't contain this information as far as I can see. Thanks for any help you can provide. (If this is the wrong list for a question like this, please point me to a better one.)
