This would work to identify the current printer, but if I wanted to check

each

printer that has a queue, I9d need a printer object for each. Is there an
equivalent for PMSessionCreatePrinterList that returns a list of printers
instead of a list of queue names?

Thanks.

Jim,

You didn't miss a thing. There is no public API to find out if a
printer is local or remote. But you can use the following, currently
private, function for this purpose:

OSStatus PMPrinterIsRemote (PMPrinter printer, Boolean *isRemoteP);

We will add this to the PrintCore header in the next major OS release.

-Paul

Thanks.
