>I have had the situation where the list of printers on my computer was "mysteriously" empty, but still everything worked as normal. When this situation has occured, I have not tried the getprinter function, but I guess it would also fail. After resetting thee computer, all the printers were "mysteriously restored".

FYI, the problem is due to a malfunction of the printer spooler. You don't have to restart the machine, go to the services page, and restart the Spool service, and that's it.
