I unfortunately don't have an answer to this question, but would be curious to see the working code if you figure it out.
I have a somewhat related question. Is it possible to get access to the same paper size list for a printer that the page setup dialog uses? This list is sometimes hierarchical (for example, with HP Photosmart printers). I could possibly guess at the algorithm Apple is using to create and sort this list, but would much rather just get access to the one that's already being used. Anybody know if it's possible?

I have a routine that gets the list of available printers. It also calls PMPrinterIsFavorite to see whether to add the printer to the list or not. Here is what I am noticing. If I create a few printers and then call my routine it builds the list fine. If I go into the Printer Setup Utility and deselect one of the printers (uncheck In Menu) and then run my routine it does not pick up the change (PMPrinterIsFavorite still returns true for all printers in the list). If I then go into the print dialog of my application and look at the list of printers it seems at that point the change in the Printer Setup Utility has been honored. If I then run my routine, sure enough only the selected printers show up in my list. Is there something I need to do at the start of the routine to pick up the change in the printer list (In Menu checkbox changes)?
Thank you,
