Hello Claudio

Not realy. that is what i am trying to prevent, that the user (or programaticly) has to install the driver on the local machine. I was hoping that there is a way to get the resource from another machine on the net without having to install.

my only thought at this time is to install in the backround (programaticly) get the info, and then remove the driver afterwards. i would have to find an api function which installs and removes drivers without user interface if the printer location is known.

thanks for your help.
