Function name : ConnectToPrinterDlg

Group: Printing and Print Spooler - Library: winspool.drv

The ConnectToPrinterDlg function displays a dialog box that lets users browse and connect to printers on a network. If the user selects a printer, the function attempts to create a connection to it; if a suitable driver is not installed on the server, the user is given the option of creating a printer locally.

Code examples:
