# 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](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/printdocs/printer-info-2), and on Linux and macOS they can be found [here](https://www.cups.org/doc/cupspm.html).
