To get a simple list of installed printers, you don't need EnumPrinterData. You can use TPrinter.Printers property:

for I := 0 to Printer.Printers.Count - 1 do
  Writeln(Printer.Printers[I]);

Correct. The EnumPrinterData function enumerates configuration data for a specified printer. – Uwe Raabe Jun 05 '10 at 12:15
I need some function to check if the spoolsv service is not hanging. Is enumerating Printers collection good for this? – Vladislav Rastrusny Jun 05 '10 at 12:59

I'm not sure, perhaps you could use QueryServiceStatus. – Ondrej Kelle Jun 05 '10 at 13:42
