EnumPrinters PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_LOCAL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


for xp and vista PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_LOCAL is 0x40.

I'm calling the EnumPrinters() api with various info levels 1,2,4,5.

I am testing on a Workgroup configuration -- not a domain.

These calls to EnumPrinters

return EnumPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL,
NULL,
InfoLevel,
Buffer,
BufferSize,
&BufSizeNeeded,
NumPrinters);

on return NumPrinters = 4.
NO PRINTERS are connected to the machine under test.
YET, The attributes returned indicate that PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_LOCAL is set.
And it identifies the location of the printers correctly.



Have I made the call incorrectly, is this buggy code. Does
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_LOCAL simply mean on my local network?

I want to find out about printers that are specifically connected to my
machine.
