I had hoped it would be as easy as
CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.PrinterServer")
Unfortunately, the returned object is not usable.
"Usable" is a relative term. You can always do something like this:
oServer = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.awt.PrinterServer")
oCore = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.reflection.CoreReflection")
oClass = oCore.forName("com.sun.star.awt.XPrinterServer")
oMethod = oClass.getMethod("getPrinterNames")
aNames = oMethod.invoke(oServer, Array())

Wow, thanks..... Thanks to Ariel, I have a few links, one of which
brings me here:
http://openoffice.org/projects/api/lists/dev/archive/2008-08/message/66
Which I assume explains why we need to jump through the hoops mentioned
above. I am amazed.... Never occurred to me that this could be done.
Marc, in answer to your question of why, I assume that it is because the
type detection stuff is not in place so Basic cannot see the required
interface. (or something like that.... Did not give that comment much
thought since my three year old is dragging me off my computer chair).
Thanks!
