It's listed in Win32.hlp, also listed at msdn.

Type EnumPrinters in the Search box.

I have no idea if this works or not, but I think this does what JD
said to do...

PRINTER_INFO_2 * pinfo2;
DWORD	needed,returned;

EnumPrinters( PRINTER_ENUM_NAME, "Generic - Text Only", 
		2,NULL,0,&needed,&returned);

pinfo2 = (PRINTER_INFO_2*)malloc( needed );

EnumPrinters( PRINTER_ENUM_NAME, "Generic - Text Only",
		 2,pinfo2,needed,&needed,&returned);

This returns an array of 0 or more PRINTER_INFO_2
"returned" is the number of elements in the array.
	for( i = 0; i < returned; i++ )
	{	dosomethingwith( pinfo2[ i ] );
	};
free( pinfo2 );

Don't forget to test for error returns, such as failure of the first
Enum.
