Hello there,

in many applications, the combobox used to select the printer has a
small icon next to the printer's name.
I'd like to draw this icon, too, but I can't find any function
to retrieve it from windows.

So how do I get a printer's icon?

Thanks,
Daniel

Why not use any own small picture for printer (loaded from own resource or
TImage or TImageList)?

Because it differs between Windows versions and printer properties
(shared, remote, etc.).
But I guess there is no such function.
Thanks anyways.
