Hi again!
I need some help again.
How do i get a list of all completed print jobs like in the browser using:http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed
I need this information in applescript.
I need the name of the printer, the name of the job, the time when the job was completed and the information whether the job was completed or cancelled - and maybe - if possible - the time the job nedded to be completed (end time - start time).
I made some experiments with «lpstat -W completed -o» but there i don’t get the job name just the ID and not the information whether completed or cancelled.
Any idea?
Thanx Pille :?

Why not just use that CUPS link via curl and then parse the HTML results?
–Open this script in a new Script Editor window.
set the_HTML to do shell script “curl http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs?which_jobs=completed ”) as string set job_delim to return & tab & “” & return & tab & “”set the_jobs to tell a reference to my text item delimiters )set old_delim , contents } to contents , job_delim }set the_HTML to the_HTML ’s text items 2 thru repeat with i from to count the_HTML )set j to item i of the_HTML set p , n , u , z , s , contents } to j ’s paragraph 1, j ’s paragraph 2, j ’s paragraph 3, j ’s paragraph 4, j ’s paragraph 7, “>”}set p , n , u , z , contents } to p ’s text item 2, n ’s text item 2, u ’s text item 2, z ’s text item 2, “&<”}set n , u , z , s , contents } to n ’s text item 1, u ’s text item 1, z ’s text item 1, s ’s text item 1, “<”}set p , contents } to p ’s text item 1, tab }set s , contents } to s ’s text item 2, “set s , contents } to s ’s text items , space }set s , contents } to s , old_delim }set end of the_jobs to the_name :n , the_printer :p , the_user :u , the_size :z , the_state :s }end repeat end tell return the_jobs
