Printer as another user

[hammett]

Hi! I want to run an exe file as a user (with runas) and view the printers installed for another user. How can I do it???

Thanks!

Hi.

Welcome to the forum.

What Windows Version are you talking about?

google: printui.dll, e.g. this MS Technet explanation.

iirc there is some example code for listing all installed printers here in the forum. Use google to search the forum

Regards, Rudi.

See helpfile for RunAs or RunAsWait function

and for see the default printer try :

ConsoleWrite ( "DefaultPrinter : " & _GetDefaultPrinter() & @Crlf )

Func _GetDefaultPrinter()
    Local $a_iCall = DllCall("winspool.drv", "int", "GetDefaultPrinterW", "wstr", "", "dword*", 0)
    If @error Or $a_iCall[0] Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")
    Local $iBufferSize = $a_iCall[2]
    $a_iCall = DllCall("winspool.drv", "int", "GetDefaultPrinterW", "wstr", "", "dword*", $iBufferSize)
    If @error Or Not $a_iCall[0] Then Return SetError(1, 0, "")
    Return SetError(0, 0, $a_iCall[1])
EndFunc   ;==>_GetDefaultPrinter
