I would like to extract the printer name as it is defined under Printers in Control Panel. APRINTERS() and "WSCRIPT.NETWORK", both return the printer's share name if it is Network printer. I need to have the printer name defined by user. The task her is to be able to print to a specific purpose printer installed on the desktop.

example:
All the shipping desktops will have something like this defined as printer name for network printers:

Packing Slip
Bill of Lading

Whenever the program prints a Packing Slip, it should print to the Packing Slip printer defined on the desktop, no matter what printer is that on the network.

Thank you,
Yashkamal Patel
