Where in a system, does vb get the list of installed printers
Hi
I'm working on an application which needs to obtain the list of printers installed on the machine. I am working with my software and an external software program. I need to know where this external program gets it's list of printers from, does anyone know where in the system software usually gets this info from and are there several different registery locations
Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks for that the problem is that in the one app it is sometimes listing the printers with capital letters and others without, and this seams to effect how the software then sees the call and sometimes a printer is output to and other times not. Any idea why this would be? I was wondering if there were diffferent registry files which the software might call the list of printers from.
