This article was previously published under Q155929 SYMPTOMS
With the APRINTERS() function, you can place the names of printers
currently installed in the Windows Print Manager into a memory variable
array. The APRINTERS() function creates a two-dimensional array. The first
column of the array contains the names of the currently installed printers,
and the second column contains the ports to which the printers are
connected. In Windows 95, if the specific printer's share name contains a
space, the PRINTERS() function returns a separate array row with the same
printer name in the first column and two incomplete share names in the
second column. An example is a printer named MyPrinter on share \\MyPrinter
Share. The APRINTERS() function produces the following two rows:
Myprinter \\MyPrinter
Myprinter Share
WORKAROUND
Use the GETPRINTER() function to print directly to the printer name instead
of the share name. If the share name is required, concatenate the share
name strings that have the same printer name in the first column of the
array.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
