Where in the registry should an application look for a user's printers?
From all my research, it should be
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices.
However, strange things happen in there. When user A logs on, it
populates that key with the correct printers. When user B subsequently
logs on, it populates that key with the correct printers. However, it
also appends user A's key with user B's printers. User C appends
printers to both user A and B's keys. This happens on both W2K/MFXP and
W2K3/PS4.
Normal applications seem to deal with this but I have one app that takes
it literally. The vendor says they are using MS VB standard functions to
determine the printer list. They need help figuring out why their app
behaves differently than anything else.
Is there a better place to enumerate a user's printers? Why does this
key in HKCU accumulate every other subsequent user's printers?
