Hi everyone, I'm contemplating creating a connection of some sort through shell to
my mysql db in Casper. I need it to query the printer id records using
the cups names of certain printer conventions. Is anyone else
using/scripting connections to their db and how are you gaining this
access client-side? I'm considering odbc drivers and installing mysql
binaries but would rather a simpler method in accomplishing this.

Thanks Jared, I honestly don't want users connecting to the database. Do you install
a client, odbc driver, etc?

Lance, I actually have worked with JAMF on the use of the API but it didn't
provide what I needed. I needed to dig a little deeper.
