Returning all installed network printers
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home
Thread Solved |
Hey,
I am curious about making an application that will show current printers that are installed on the computer, will be windows XP, and at first returning them back for the user to see in command prompt.
Although I am unable to find out how I can check to see what printers are installed in the system, and a poke in the right direction would be appriciated, is there a library or API for this?
Sorry for what is probably a very easy question, worded incredibly badly.

I believe what you are looking for is the EnumPrinters function in the Windows API. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/libr...92(VS.85).aspx
