TPrinter Object

Delphi gives you a function called Printer that returns a TPrinter object for the current printer.
Look up the Printer function and the properties of the TPrinter object in help, and you'll see that they provide at least some of the info you require. For example,
returns the name of the printer as a string. You may be able to get more via the Printer.Handle and a Windows API call.
