+.SH ARGUMENTS
+.TP
+.I display
+Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.
+.TP
+.I printer_name
+Specifies the name of the printer for which information is desired. If NULL,
+then information is returned for all printers associated with the server.
+.TP
+.I list_count_return
+Returns the number of printers in the list.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+XpGetPrinterList returns a list of printer records where each record describes a
+printer supported by the X Print Server, or NULL if any errors occur.
+
+If
+.I printer_name
+is NULL, then a list of all printers supported is returned. If
+.I printer_name
+is non-NULL, only print records matching
+.I printer_name
+are returned,
+and if no records match
+.I printer_name
+, then NULL is returned.
+
+.I printer_name
+is a COMPOUND_TEXT string, and the name and desc fields in the
+returned list will be in COMPOUND_TEXT (note, ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) is a proper
+subset of COMPOUND_TEXT, so can be used directly). If
+.I printer_name
+is in a code-set that the X Print Server cannot convert (into its operating
+code-set), then the X Print Server may fail to locate the requested printer.
+If
+.I printer_name
+is NULL, then all printer names, regardless of their code-set, can
+be returned, leaving the task of specific printer recognition up to the caller.
+
+When XpGetPrinterList is called, the caller's locale (see XpSetLocaleHinter) is
+included in the request as a "hint" to the X Print Server. If supported by the
+implementation, the X Print Server will use the hint to locate a localized
+description for each printer in the list. If the X Print Server cannot
+understand the hint, the X Print Server will choose a default.
+The returned printer list can be freed by calling XpFreePrinterList.
+
+The XPPrinterList structure defined in <X11/extensions/Print.h> contains:
+.nf
+
+typedef struct {
+ char *name; /* name */
+ char *desc; /* localized description */
+} XPPrinterRec, *XPPrinterList;
+
