query printer

[evan]

Hi All,

Does anyone have the VB code to query a printer (The print device is shared through a Windows 2000 Print server)? I have word templates that needs to query network printers to get it's name, tray info, paper info etc so that the template knows where to print it to.

If anyone can provide me with the code or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Evan
