Hi,
I know how to install functions using the AddPrinter() API. But this
function takes all the information from a structure I have to fill myself.
The AddPrinter wizard (from Control Panel/Printers) takes the information
from an .inf file that describes all the parameters. Is there any API that
parses the inf for me and gives me the structure so that I can call
AddPrinter()? Or an API that takes the .inf as parameter and installs the
printer? How can I programatically bring up the AddPrinter wizard? Will I
have to parse the .inf file myself?

Thank you for any suggestion

Lucian



 
Maybe you could use GetProfileString, GetProfileInt, ... functions or something similar.
