List of available printers

message from jan on 3 Jun 2004
When using the print dialog, I can get a list of available printers. Is
there any way I can access that list from code?
I need to determine if a certain printer is on the list, and if it is, I
want to print to this printer. If not I need to tell the user, that the
correct printer is not available.

In Access 2002 and later, you can loop through the Printers collection, and
set the Printer object.
