Interface: ExpandedDeviceEntry
One device after expansion: original entry plus the derived grid and the rolled-up supportStatus (worst-case across declared transports, mapped to EffectiveStatus).
Extends
Properties
| Property | Type | Description | Inherited from |
|---|---|---|---|
capabilities? | Readonly<Record<string, unknown>> | Chassis-level capability flags — properties of the box, not the printhead. Most boolean capabilities are engine-level; this bag is for genuinely chassis-y things (Brother's editorLite USB-Mass-Storage trick, eventual battery / display flags). Open shape so drivers can extend without touching contracts. | DeviceEntry.capabilities |
engines | readonly PrintEngine[] | Print engines in this device. Always an array, never empty — single-engine devices fabricate a 'primary' entry. Composite devices (Duo, Twin) carry one entry per independent engine. | DeviceEntry.engines |
family | string | Driver family this device belongs to, e.g. 'labelwriter'. | DeviceEntry.family |
hardwareQuirks? | string | In-source hardware quirks — immutable facts about the chassis. Distinct from support.quirks, which is editorial and changes with firmware revisions. Example: "PID collides with the LabelManager PnP variant; needs usb_modeswitch on Linux". | DeviceEntry.hardwareQuirks |
key | string | Stable key used as the registry export name (e.g. 'LW_450'). | DeviceEntry.key |
modelNames? | readonly string[] | Self-reported identity, network-management side: the model strings the device reports about itself, without vendor prefix. Sources are the IEEE-1284 device ID MDL: field, mDNS TXT usb_MDL, IPP printer-device-id, and SNMP hrDeviceDescr / sysDescr; the vendor word in front of them (Brother QL-820NWB) is stripped by the matcher, not stored here. Defaults to [name]. Set it only when the marketing name differs from the wire name: Brother reports QL-820NWB for the entry named QL-820NWBc, so that entry carries modelNames: ['QL-820NWB', 'QL-820NWBc']. Matching is by whole token, longest candidate first, so QL-800 never matches a QL-8000-style longer name. Consumed by matchModelName in @thermal-label/transport. A sibling field for the wire-protocol side (the model code a printer answers with to a driver-specific identity query, e.g. niimbot's PrinterInfo(0x08)) is a separate concern and lands as its own field when a driver needs it; do not encode numeric protocol codes here. | DeviceEntry.modelNames |
name | string | Human-readable model name, e.g. 'LabelWriter 450'. | DeviceEntry.name |
support | DeviceSupport | Always defined; defaults to { status: 'untested' }. Deprecated Author verifications instead. Kept populated by codegen (synthesised from verifications if present, else mapped from legacy authoring) so existing consumers keep working unchanged. Removed in the cleanup PR once all drivers migrate. | DeviceEntry.support |
supportStatus | EffectiveStatus | - | - |
transports | DeviceTransports | Wire-protocol transports this device exposes. | DeviceEntry.transports |
verificationGrid | ExpandedVerificationGrid | - | - |
verifications? | Partial<Record<TransportType, VerificationCell>> | Per-transport stored verifications. Authored by hardware-report PRs; expanded at codegen time into a derived grid (see expandVerifications in ./expand.js). When absent, codegen falls back to legacy support.status. | DeviceEntry.verifications |
