Forgot to mention  this before any of the DocumentProperties() calls

I have the user store them in a file so I don't have to mess with all
that.  I can show you how I give the user the info for what the valid
portnames are:

char	buffer[16*1024];
PRINTER_INFO_1 *pinfo = buffer;

if( EnumPrinters( PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL,0,	1, buffer,
		16*1024,	&bytes, &copies)	 )
	while( copies)
	{	lstrcpyn( que.Buffer, pinfo->pName, 64 );
		copies--;
		pinfo++;
		que.Append();
	};
Ignore what a que is.
I hard coded the que buffer to 64 char, that's why the lstrcpyn

I suppose that means your answer is in
PRINTER_INFO_1->pName
Now you just have to figure out how you are going to get it.
What did you use to let the user select a printer?
Those usually return a PRINTER_INFO_n

If you are using PrintDlg(), then look at the returned hDevMode and
hDevNames. They are handles, so you need to use GlobalLock() to get
the memory addresses.
