Gurus,
Anybody know of a Perl module that can tell me 1. If there's a printer
physically connected to a parallel (or serial) port on a PC and, 2. what
printer it is? I've got a project that wants this info, and I've pretty
much gotten nowhere trying to use WMI (unless I've missed something). In
one instance, it (WMI) identifies seven printers connected to LPT1:, and
says that all of them are in "Idle" status. Anybody want to assess the
accuracy of that result? I know, it's just reading the registry (I
think); so the information I need must be elsewhere.
True confession time: I'm at a loss here, and in need of your guidance.
Thanks!!!!!!!
