XPRINT GET PAPERS retrieves a string which contains a list of all of the paper types supported by the attached host printer. This string is assigned to the string variable specified by PapersVar$. The string contains a comma-delimited list of papertype, papername... repeated as many times as necessary. For example: "1,Letter,5,Legal,7,Executive,20,Envelope #10" You can use PARSECOUNT to determine the number of delimited fields in the string, and PARSE$() to easily extract the type numbers and names.
