Hi,
I noticed that no-one has answered you yet so here goes...
I don't know if you can automate the adding of a new printer or not (I don't think that you can, but I could be wrong). However, I was able to find a few articles pretaining to printer functions. I haven't read them in their entirety, but they may contain the info you seek. I also have an example database that has printer functions built in - e-mail me at: jbehrne@hotmail.com if you would like a copy. Good luck,
jbehrne

Hi:
The following is from Access 2002 Desktop Developer's Handbook by Litwin, Getz and Gunderloy, Chapter 10:
"...Note that there's no mechanism for adding a new printer programmatically. You can't add a printer to Windows from here..."
Each user must add the network printers on the user's own workstation in Windows.
However, it is not difficult to populate a combo box with the names of the printers that are already installed.
Cheers,[/tt]
