Does anyone know how to determine the true port of a printer? I am developing under Win2K, and when I issue printer.port, I get a useless "Ne01:" or the like. What I need to know is if the printer is a local printer or a networked printer and if the printer is networked, what port it is connected to. For example, If I am sharing an HP Printer on Box A: I would like to be able to retreive the string: "\\A\HP" The same goes for a local printer: "LPT1:"

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
