METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR DETECTING PRINTERS, A CORRESPONDING COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND A CORRESPONDING COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

The invention relates to a method and to an arrangement for detecting printers that can be used by means of a wireless connection, a corresponding computer program, and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium that can be used in particular for printing in WLAN or Bluetooth environments. For this purpose, in order to detect printers that can be used from a data processing device by means of a wireless communication connection, it is proposed that the following steps be performed: performing a search for a printer (200) that provides an interface to a wireless network (1100), associating found printers (200) with registered printers and/or printer drivers, detecting installed printer drivers for associated printers, generating a list (800) of printers (210) that can be used by the terminal, wherein a found printer (200) for which an installed printer driver was detected is considered to be a printer (210) that can be used.
