List only connected Printers on Local machine 

             The important part here is the "device-URI". This way you tell CUPS which backend it shall use with the printer "printername". The backends for most types of local printers are already part of the CUPS package. CUPS 1.1.x contains backends for parallel, serial, and USB printers, CUPS 1.2.x will also support FireWire (IEEE 1394) and SCSI printers.

            The backends do not only send data to the appropriate devices. They are also called when CUPS is started. They auto-detect which printer models are connected to which ports. So you should set up your BIOS for the parallel ports to allow bi-directional communication. Then your printer(s) can answer to the auto-detection requests.

To see which devices the CUPS backends auto-detect currently, execute them without command line options:

   $ /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
   direct usb:/dev/usb/lp0 "HP PSC 950xi" "USB Printer #1"
   direct usb:/dev/usb/lp1 "EPSON USB Printer" "USB Printer #2"
   direct usb:/dev/usb/lp2 "EPSON USB Printer" "USB Printer #3"
   direct usb:/dev/usb/lp3 "Unknown" "USB Printer #4

List Installed Printers  

        this will list the printers which is installed in local machine.

lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 lpq -P | grep -i "ready"
