Hello Dean, >I am not a Windows programmer, but have managed to port some Linux codes to the >python/windows environment. To allow windows users to print, I used some code >that needed to know the name of the 'shares' providing printers (there were 2 >of >them in the environment in which I work). The code looks in part like: > > import win32print > default_printer = win32print.GetDefaultPrinter () # just the default > > for j in range (len (self.share_names)): # <-------must know share names! > A = win32print.EnumPrinters (win32print.PRINTER_ENUM_NAME,\ > self.share_names [j], 2) > for i in range (len (A)): > win_printer = A [i] ['pPrinterName'] > self.printer_list.append (win_printer) > >My question then is, "how does one determine the share names in an arbitrary >environment - without asking someone, and then coding them (as I've done >above?)" > > > try win32print.EnumPrinters(win32print.PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL,None,2) or win32print.EnumPrinters(win32print.PRINTER_INFO,None,2) for lokal shares
and win32print.EnumPrinters(100,None,2) for network shares.
