ah! thanks for the info.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::Printer::Enum;
use Win32::Printer::Enum qw( Jobs );

my $server = 'sfile';
my @printer = Printers($server);
my $count_printer = @printer;

print $count_printer;
[download]

gives 0
still doesn't find network printer... this runs on win7..hm any clue is welcome

Looking at the underlying Win32 API method EnumPrinters, you could try passing in the string

'Print Provider!!\\Machine'
[download]

to search the machine \\Machine for printers.

In your case, that could be:

my @printer = Printers("Print Provider!!\\\\$server");
[download]

thanks ahead

my @printer = Printers("Print Provider!!\\\\$server");
[download]

didn't work but

my @printer = Printers("\\\\$server");
[download]

works !
love and peace~

Try '//sfile'? Also check your event viewer logs for hints
