meaning of icons

[Frank]

Is there a list of all the icons in Windows and their meanings?
Specifically, right now I would like to know the meaning of a particular
icon in Printers & Faxes

The whole idea of "icons" is that they should be recognizable without
text. However, as any US driver who goes to Europe for the first time
learns, what seems obvious to some is not obvious to all. The same goes
for software in general and Windows in particular.

For that reason, most Windows icons have pop-up balloon tips if you
hover your mouse over them.

If the balloon tip doesn't help (or if the particular icon you're
concerned with doesn't have one), start start with the title of the
window in which the icon appears and try to describe it as best you can,
including its relative position in the window.

Picture of a printer, picture of a printer with a hand under it, picture of
a printer with something that looks like it might be a rod or a piece of pipe
with a little piece of yellow something on it.
