| This API requires the use of a wrapped peripheral! This API does not behave like a regular API, to use it you must first wrap the peripheral and call the methods on the wrapped object. For more information see this page.

The Printer API allows you to interact with printers.
|
| |
| Method Name | Description |
| printer.getPaperLevel() | Returns the amount of paper available in the paper tray. |
| printer.newPage() | Starts a new page. Returns true if page got started, false if not. |
| printer.endPage() | Ends the page and prints the page to the output tray. Returns true if page was ended, false if not. |
| printer.write(string text) | Writes text to the paper, works the same way as term.write() |
| printer.setPageTitle(string title) | Sets the title of the page. |
| printer.getInkLevel() | Returns the amount of ink in the ink slot. |
| printer.getCursorPos() | Returns the coordinates of the cursor on the paper, works the same way as term.getCursorPos() |
| printer.setCursorPos(number x, number y) | Sets the cursor pos, works the same way as term.setCursorPos() |
| printer.getPageSize() | Returns the size of the paper, works the same way as term.getSize() |
Note
All printer functions are to be used after wrapping the printer in a peripheral. example: printer = peripheral.wrap("left")
