Returned by PrinterDiscovery.listPrinters(). Pass the matching fields (vid, pid, serialNumber, or host/port) into openPrinter() to open a specific device.

Properties

Property	Type	Description
connectionId	string	Transport-specific connection identifier. Opaque to consumers — a USB device path, a TCP host:port, or a BLE address, depending on transport. Never parse it; for network printers use host / port instead.
device	DeviceEntry	Registry entry for the detected model.
host?	string	Network address the printer was discovered at. Set for network-discovered printers (transport: 'tcp') so callers can re-open with openPrinter({ host, port, deviceKey: device.key }) without a second identification round trip.
port?	number	TCP port that goes with host; the registry entry's transports.tcp.port.
serialNumber?	string	Serial number, if the transport exposes it (USB descriptor, mDNS TXT, etc.).
transport	TransportType	Which transport this printer was discovered on.
