>Thanks just the same. FYI, I figured out how to use OpenPrinter, ClosePrinter, and EnumJobs API functions but cant get pass deciphering the contents of the pJob pointer parameter of EnumJobs bec of the DWORD, STRUCTs! Man, that's way over me...

Those are data types of the C or C++ programming languages. There have been discussions here, on how to convert them to and from VFP.

The first word, BOOL, is the return value of the function. The others are the parameters which the function accepts.

See, for instance, message #842632, or perhaps the entire thread.
