The focus.fll freely available from www.fastwrite.com provides a method for getting the printerdriver and port name. I've been using this fll for about three years now and it works perfectly.

Walter,



>Thanks Andreas! I remembering some code on VFP to have the Printers collection, but I'm not sure. I also think that there was a .DLL file that did, in case I find it I will tell you.

>>In VB Printers collection will provide you the printer driver, but in VFP APRINTERS() will only give you the printer name and the port name. There are API calls (GetPrinterDriver() or EnumPrinters() ) to do this but I can't handle that in VFP code and I'm not willing to build a DLL just for this (at least not yet!).
