Publishing Printer Management
Getting your uses to delete their printjobs isn’t always easy from within a published application. Therefor you can publish the printer management however it’s not too straightforward. Browsing thru Windows 95 Annoyances (note that the link is for Windows 98 as the O’Reilly site mentions the Win 95 book nowhere) I’ve found a solution for this.
First go to your application partition or whereever you have your stuff installed and there create a folder called
” Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} ”
If you did it correctly (and I made no typos as well) your folder should get the Printer Folder icon. Next you must create a copy of your explorer.exe. If you publish “explorer.exe” you will actually publish a desktop. If you publish it under a different filename such as “printexplorer.exe” you’ll get a filebrowser. Going with a filebrowser to the folder you just created turns it into printer management. So when you publishing this you’ll get a printer management such as the user knows on his own PC :
Command Line : <path>\printexplorer.exe <path>\Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
Working Directory : <path of printexplorer>
