>I need to check if the user has Acrobat PDFWriter printer installed. It is simple to do with APRINTERS(), which returns a printer name but the users can rename his printers, so I am trying to retrieve the name of the printer driver to check for. This issue is not specific to PDFWriter printer (I mean I don't want to check for the particular files installed...): same with WinFax or Generic/Text printers.

Aleksandr,

If you have some comfort level in VB, you could create a small class in VB that would make use of its printers collection. Each printer object in VB has a bunch of properties that might be of use to you.

This is what I personally did in order to get the driver name of a printer to pass to Crystal Reports at runtime when the user wishes to change their current printer selection.

Laterness,
Jon
