It is the name of the printer as it appears under
Start/Settings/Printers. It can be listed using EnumPrinters.

It's a normal zero terminated char array.
	char	pPrinterName[] = "Generic Text Printer";
or
	char*	pPrinterName = new char[256];

lstrcpy(pPrinterName,Printer()->Printers->Strings[PrinterIndex].cstr();
or

char*pPrinterName=strdup(Printer()->Printers->Strings[PrinterIndex].cstr());
	use it
	free(pPrinterName);
Or you can just use the ASCII String portion of the Tstring directly.

DocumentProperties(NULL,PrinterHandle,Printer()->Printers->Strings[PrinterIndex].cstr(),NULL,NULL,0);
