Help Needed with printer Driver

Post by dave ogl » Sat, 04 Jan 1997 04:00:00



I am writing a program and need a way to determine, from the
program, what printers a given
printer driver supports. I can do this on other operating systems using
APIs, and want to find something like that on windows 95. what I am
looking for is a way to retrieve the list of printers supported from a
printer driver. I know the list exists in the drivers, given that I can
edit the file (like HPPCL5MS.DRV) and see a list of printers. Does
anyone know what the right way to do this is in 95 and/or NT? I know it
must be possible since I would guess that the print wizard uses some
command like this itself. any and all pointers will be appreciated.

thanks
dave
