I'm trying to get print job status from a network printer. As described on cpan : Printers($server); $server name of the server on which the printer drivers should be enumerated. without submitting parameters to Printers(); it works just finding local printers.

i've also tried submitting the server like Printers('server_name'); and Printers('server_ip'); . I'm new to perl, maybe there is a syntax error ?
