hi everyone :) i'm making a batch file which allows removing, adding
and setting default printer under win xp, it works great but i'd also
like to add the option in the batch file to list the current printers
installed, preferably by share name since adding with rundll32.dll
printui is done by share name. Any ideas how this can be done?

Thanks alot,
michael

Windows xp script 'prnmngr.vbs' can list installed printers.
