Client printers are created under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers. Network printers are created under HKCU\Printers Do users have "Power User" or "Administrator" rights? -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Raffensberger, Stephen D Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2007 10:44 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Printing Question 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?
