Printing - Related Registry Keys


hi guys,

i'm looking information on how printers stored in windows registry. in particular, i'm interested in gets stored in following keys/subkeys:

  • hkey_current_user\printers
  • hkey_current_user\printers\connections
  • hkey_current_user\printers\devmodeperuser
  • hkey_current_user\printers\devmodes2
  • hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\devices
  • hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\printerports
  • hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\print

from can see

  • hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\print\printers -> stores info on locally attached printers
  • hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\print\printers -> stores info on locally attached printers
  • hkey_current_user\printers\connections -> stores network mapped printers
  • hkey_current_user\printers\devmodes2 -> stores preference changes make network printers

any info appreciated.

note: i'm using windows 7/2008 r2 environment
