Hi,

I'd like to programmatically change the "Keep Printed Documents" option
for a printer. The option is available in the Windows UI by going to
the Advanced tab on the printer's Properties dialog. Turning it on
causes Windows to save copies of printed docs in the printer queue
(marked as 'completed').

In my research I've come across references to WMI. Is that the best
way to do change the option?

Any help would be appreciated!
