+Summary: Win32 PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters missing connected network printers
+
+On Windows XP my default printer is a network printer, and it does not 
+appear in the drop-down-list in the Mono WinForms PrintDialog.  Initially 
+I thought it was a issue in PrintDialog, but on investigation found it 
+was a issue with printer enumeration.  (Even though the printer didn't 
+appear in the list it /was/ though returned by the dialog if the user 
+made no selection).
+
+The list returned by Mono PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters does not 
+include such network printers.  On MSFT CLR the list it returns here is:
+
+\\pc99\Lexmark X1100 Series
+Microsoft XPS Document Writer
+Microsoft Office Document Image Writer
+Lexmark X1100 Series
+Canon S300 via IrDA
+Canon S300
+
+But the Mono equivalent is missing the first item.
+
+It appears that flag PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS should be added to the 
+flags passed to Win32EnumPrinters in 
+PrintingServicesWin32.InstalledPrinters.  
+
+From the EnumPrinters MSDN page:
+PRINTER_ENUM_CONNECTIONS: "All connected remote printers"
+PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL: "All local printers.  Windows 95/98/Me: Also 
+enumerates network printers because they are installed locally."
+
+Which shows that the 'connections' flag should be added.  The text in the 
+first table there gives a more confusing description of both making one 
+thing the 'local' flag is enough.
+
+With that change I see the printer in the dialog and it is pre-selected 
+at open.
+
+I wonder if PrintDialog should complain somehow (?debug output, 
+MessageBox) when it doesn't find the default printer in the displayed 
+list.  It would make such omissions immediately apparent.
