TPrinterSetupDialog and TPrintDialog will set the TPrinter's
PrinterIndex. Other dialogs such as PageSetupDlg, PrintDlg and
PrintDlgEx do not (duh ... they're win32 APIs) but they do
return a DEVMODE and DEVNAMES struct that one can use to get
the name of the printer but I have a problem with both structs.

The DEVMODE has a dmDeviceName member which is defined as:

    BCHAR  dmDeviceName[CCHDEVICENAME];

    Specifies the the "friendly" name of the printer; for
    example, "PCL/HP LaserJet" in the case of PCL/HP
    LaserJet�. This string is unique among device drivers.
    Note that this name may be truncated to fit in the
    dmDeviceName array.

and CCHDEVICENAME is 32. Similarly, the DEVNAMES related
member is also 32 bytes long.

I went back and looked at some old BCB5 code to verify that I
was recalling correctly that 32 bytes isn't enough for the
names listed in TPrinter's Printers and I found where I had
noted a change from saving 50 characters for the printer name
to 100 because TPrinter::Printers::IndexOf was failing.

So, How does one get the same names that TPrinter uses?
