s there something better than EnumPrinters?

[PyongHopscotch]

Hi All I was just wondering if there was a better function/way to get
information on all the printers currently installed than EnumPrinters.
I only really need all the printer names but don't care to do the
memory management involved with EnumPrinters.

I looked at using GetProfileString with [devices] but that requires I
know the buffer size ahead of time.

Any alternatives would be appreciated

Try a different newsgroup.

You should post to a platform-specific group, since your question is
outside the scope of this newsgroup. See this FAQ for what is on-topic
here and for some suggestions of where to post:
