Hello,
Our customer has recently upgraded Windows server from 2003 to 2008.
In new server, we saw that network printer's definition in registry is in the format of 'Printer on Server', while in old server the printer format was mainly '\\Server\Printer' (although the 'Printer on Server' format existed there too).
So due to this change in printer 'format', we need to modify our software to recognize the new format.
Does anyone knows how does windows determines which format to use in printer definition?
Is there a way to switch between formats?
(Note: I refer to printer definition under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices registry key)
Thanks in advance.
