    Besides getting the basic printer status like Ready, I would like to get the following information too

    • Ink or Toner levels
    • Paper sizes in each tray
    • and the number of available staples in the stapler unit

    Actually for staples I only need to know if there are enough to staple all copies.

      AFAIK retrieving this information requires a special driver for your printer. You might want to check for special driver API.
