I am using copyfile api to send a file to a printer and it works great. However, I noticed today that it requires not the windows printer name (as we retrieve using getprinter() in vfp) but the sharename. Now I will have to determine if the printer is local or network and if network determine its network name. Is there a simple way to do this? I have many printername retrieval functions but none that I've found so far will return the sharename for a network printer based on its windows name on the workstation...

For instance if I use SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER() then SET('PRINTER',3) will have the windows name whether it is local or not and if it is a network printer it will not contain the network name. I need to somehow get the network name of the printer so I can pass it to copyfile...

TIA,
Tracy
