PrinterInfo Object

• name String - the name of the printer as understood by the OS.
• displayName String - the name of the printer as shown in Print Preview.
• description String - a longer description of the printer's type.
• status Number - the current status of the printer.
• isDefault Boolean - whether or not a given printer is set as the default printer on the OS.
• options Object - an object containing a variable number of platform-specific printer information.

The number represented by status means different things on different platforms: on Windows its potential values can be found here, and on Linux and macOS they can be found here.
