Discussion

This function is typically used to obtain the name of the computer that hosts a shared printer, possibly for display in a user interface. In macOS 10.5 and later, the typical way that users browse and communicate with a shared printer creates a local print queue and PMPrinterCopyHostName for such a print queue will return the name of the local host.
