After playing around I found that this doesn't want to work as I'd thought. If you do:
#define BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER 0x2000
#define ssfPRINTERS 0x4
oShell = CREATEOBJECT('Shell.Application')
oShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select Printer", BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER, ssfPRINTERS)You'll get the printers folder, but you can't select anything.
However, if you use:
oFolder = oShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select Printer", BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER)
? oFolder.TitleYou have to select the printer from the Network Neighborhood and you get the cue name.
Either something's futzed with my machine or I don't understand this as well as I should. Nevermind...Sorry
