We are making a website for a supplier of printer consumables. There was a question, perhaps a little silly.
Is there any way to determine the printer model a user has installed using browser languages?

ActionScript / Java applet I think can help you in this matter.

try to dig into the Google Api and their cloudprint
service, maybe they have implemented a loophole for themselves to scan local printers when adding.

the answer to your question is NO. It was only then that everyone began to dance in ecstasy from the fact that HTML5 had access to the webcam directly, and you already want a printer.
