The only thing that came very very close was the WMI class Win32_Printer, it has several properties that allow you to determine this and other things, but unfortunatelly they return NULL, My guess is that the printers drivers do not support them yet, for they are "new" for XP. I posted a message in the past to do a test if it works for others, but as far as I know, it didn't
