Thanks Anatoliy,

I'll check it out! I was hoping there was an api function that would retrieve all of the printers on a workstations (local, network, etc) so I could scroll a list or array or something and locate the windows printer name and then determine the port or sharename. I know that in the registry the printers are all listed with their port and sharename so I guess I could also search the registry for them? Not quite as efficient though...
