Ah, yes. My mistake. I should have been more specific about that of course. First of all thank you L.P.H. van Belle for your quick reply. The thing is, I can't actually install the smbclient on the system I need to list the printers on. It would be too big for what it needs to do. All I need is a small app that lists printers on a remote windows system (usually windows 2000 but it can differ). So I would need to pass the app (or script, doesn't matter) the hostname as a variable. and grep the printers from the output (or, if the app only returns the printers just take the output). Which is why I'm looking for a small app or script that does that. Or a library that gives me that functionality. I hope that makes things more clear. If there are any question feel free to ask.

I am looking for a program or library that I can use on Unix to list printers on Windows machines. I can program and I understand a fair bit of C. But when I started taking apart the smbclient to get the "smbclient -L <host>" functionality out of it it looked like a lot of work. A whole lot of work. So I'm hoping to avoid that. Also because I've been reading up on netbios, nbt, smb and cifs and it seems to be a real mess. Is there a tool / program / library out there that can give me the same functionality of "smbclient -L <host>" ? I really only need to list the shares, nothing more.
