hello everybody.

in my quest to programaticly (without user intervention) add a network printer to a local machine (threads #995713 and #995563) i've come across the following link on the ms website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/147202/EN-US/.

on this (the Windows95 version) i have 2 questions:
1st how do you convert the code to vfp code?
2nd they talk about copying the driver files to the local machine. the copying process is easy enough, but how do i find out what the driver files on the remote machine are?
   PRINTER_INFO_2 pi2;
   DRIVER_INFO_2 di2;
   HANDLE hPrinter;

   ZeroMemory(&di2, sizeof(DRIVER_INFO_2));
   di2.cVersion = 1024;
   di2.pName = "HP Laserjet 4Si";
   di2.pEnvironment = "Windows 4.0";
   di2.pDriverPath = "c:\\windows\\system\\hppcl5ms.drv";
   di2.pDataFile   = "c:\\windows\\system\\hppcl5ms.drv";
   di2.pConfigFile = "c:\\windows\\system\\hppcl5ms.drv";
   AddPrinterDriver(NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)&di2);

   ZeroMemory(&pi2, sizeof(PRINTER_INFO_2));
   pi2.pPrinterName = "HP Laserjet 4Si";
   pi2.pPortName = "\\\\server\\print_share";
   pi2.pDriverName = "HP Laserjet 4Si";
   pi2.pPrintProcessor = "WinPrint";
   pi2.pDatatype = "EMF";
   hPrinter = AddPrinter(NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)&pi2);
   ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
thanks for all your help!
