Hello everybody:
I have the following code:

#include "hbclass.ch"
#include "fivewin.ch"

#define PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT     1
#define PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL       2
#define PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS 4
#define PRINTER_ENUM_FAVORITE    4
#define PRINTER_ENUM_NAME        8
#define PRINTER_ENUM_REMOTE      10
#define PRINTER_ENUM_SHARED      20
#define PRINTER_ENUM_NETWORK     40

FUNCTION Main()
	LOCAL aPrinters, nNecesitados, nRetornados

	TotPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_NAME,NIL,1,@aPrinters,0,@nNecesitados,@nRetornados)
	MsgInfo( aPrinters)
	MsgInfo( nNecesitados)
	MsgInfo( nRetornados)
	Msginfo( Len(aPrinters), "Impresoras Encontradas")
	MsgInfo( WinDefaultPrinter(), "Impresora por Defecto")
	FOR n := 1 TO Len(aPrinters)
		MsgInfo(aPrinters[n])
	NEXT

RETURN NIL

DLL32 FUNCTION TotPrinters( Flags AS DWORD, Name AS LPSTR, Level AS DWORD, pPrinterEnum AS BYTE, cbBuf AS DWORD, pcbNeeded AS DWORD, pcReturned AS DWORD) ;
	AS LONG PASCAL FROM "EnumPrinters" LIB "winspool.drv"

Unfortunately I was unable to get printers installed on my system via the DLL32 and if through a # pragma BEGINDUMP .... ENDDUMP using an assigned code on the Internet.
My need is that I have no idea of C++ and require begin development of an application for a center for Internet and the first thing I have to learn is to control printers when they receive work.
Variable aPrinters always returns NIL like the others.
Perhaps I can guide without having to use # pragma would appreciate it. I have used the SDK reference windows.
Many thanks in advance

David,

Windows API EnumPrinters() function is quite complex to be properly managed using the PRG command DLL FUNCTION.

The C code that you have published in the Spanish forums, is it working for you ?
