Hi Sergey, It is true that if there are no printers connected to the system we should be getting the exception but all of windows system at least contains 'Fax', 'Microsoft print to PDF' as default printers in the printers list. Ideally it is true that a null return case must have been handled. So I simulated this effect by setting cReturned to zero causing a NPE to trigger with the old code and then applied the fix and found that there is no NPE anymore.

If you cannot reproduce this exception on the system w/o printers, then it is interesting what will return this code: 259 ::EnumPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL | PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS, 260 NULL, 4, pPrinterEnum, cbNeeded, &cbNeeded, 261 &cReturned); 262 263 if (cReturned > 0) {....} what will happen if you try to print something to the printer which is returned in the case above? -- Best regards, Sergey.
