Fred,

No problem. Actually, I found a solution. I downloaded struct.zip (written by Christof Lange and Mark Wilden) from the Files section. This is an excellent resource for using API structures in VFP. There is a printerinfo.prg that creates a cursor of all Windows printers with their names and types using the wrapper classes. Thanks Christof and Mark for your work and making this available for others.
