Ok have just found the semi-solution to this - I can now seperate the Network from the Local Printers and display them accordingly. HOWEVER I still need to find the Share names of these Printers.
This is my code on how I got the printers & displayed them:

LOCAL lcpamount, lcprntname, ncount, lcprn
lcprntname = ""
lcPart1 = ""
lcPart2 = ""
lcNetwork = ""
lcLocal = ""
lcnetc = ""
lclocalc = ""
nline = 1

APRINTERS(aprnt) &&& Get list of Printers
lcpamount = ALEN(aprnt) &&& Find how many items in Array

FOR ncount = 1 TO lcpamount
lcprn = ALLTRIM(aprnt(ncount))
IF nline = 1
lcPart1 = ALLTRIM(lcprntname) +" " +ALLTRIM(lcprn)
nline = 2 &&& The next information will be Part 2 of the String
ELSE
IF LEFT(lcprn,1) = "\"
lcNetwork = lcPart1 + " Attached to " + lcprn +CHR(13) +CHR(10)
&&& Create a line feed & Carrage return
lcNetc = lcNetc + lcNetwork
&&& String for the Network information
ELSE
lcLocal = lcPart1 + " Attached to Port " + lcprn +CHR(13) +CHR(10)
&&& Create a line feed & Carrage return
lcLocalc = lcLocalc + lcLocal
&&& String for the Local information
ENDIF
nline = 1 &&& Go back to get part one of the string
ENDIF
ENDFOR

THISFORM.pageframe1.page2.edtPDIR.VALUE=ALLTRIM(lcLocalc) && Populate all Local Printers
THISFORM.pageframe1.page2.edtPNET.VALUE=ALLTRIM(lcNetc) && Populate all Network Printers

If anyone could help with finding the sharenames of the printers it would help allot.
