I've run into this as well- I made further progress by ensuring that both "LPD Print Service" and "LPR Port Monitor" features are enabled.

However, it appears to still have issues:

> lpr -S 127.0.0.1 -P "HP" "C:\\Users\\jonah\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8ea19b4b-22df-4063-ab20-1c56ec8abb81"
Error: print server did not accept request.  Job aborted.

Initially, it seems that "HP" is too short of a system name. Was able to determine that the DriverName parsing from wmic has a bug when names have whitespace:

     Running `target\debug\examples\list_printers.exe`       
Printer { id: "793c6ff0-8bb6-542a-baba-e82974ceac12", name: "Name", system_name: "DriverName" }

Note: HP LaserJet M109-M112 PCLm-S vs HP

Interestingly, neither of these work:

> lpr -S 127.0.0.1 -P "NPI642118 (HP LaserJet M110w)" "C:\\Users\\jonah\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8ea19b4b-22df-4063-ab20-1c56ec8abb81"

Taking a step back, tried to determine whether this is an issue with this library or my hardware configuration. Looked into alternative ways of printing via CLI on Windows and encountered Get-Printer and Out-Printer.

The following working on both of my test devices.

@talesluna Would you accept patch which switches the Windows portion to these PowerShell commands or are there intricacies of LPR that I'm not aware of that this solution would omit?

[jonahgeorge]

@cheng-io This branch has the changes above applied and I'm now able to print on Windows (it does change system_name in the returned list of printers due to what Out-Printer requires): https://github.com/jonahgeorge/rust-printers/tree/jonahgeorge-patch-1

Let me know if you have success with it

[jonahgeorge]

Upon further review, I believe the correct way to accomplish this is with the winspool functions within winapi: https://github.com/retep998/winapi-rs/blob/0.3/src/um/winspool.rs

Thanks for contributing @cheng-io

This issue are fixed by PR #13 (tag v1.2.0)

[talesluna]

@jonahgeorge Thanks for your proposal with powershell. The latest version has been adjusted based on your fork 👍 Feel welcome to open the PR. I opened this project as a simple utility and I can't always handle it quickly.
