Batch file to reproduce the problem.

The device mswinpr2 doesn't work if the printer has a name with a German umlaut (or any other char greater ASCII code 127).

On a German Windows 10 system (full updated) is a printer added with the name "büro". mswinpr2 couldn't find this printer. If you rename the printer to "buero" there is no problem.

Take a look at the attached batch file.

Best regards

Frank

I have trouble getting the print dialog to no pop up, and also to have it
show anything other than the default printer.

I'll investigate further.

This commit 350acb64892ddae3167c88e448d9a690fd38ac1e resolves the problem described here, for me.

I'm not convinced this is a complete solution, but it is certainly an improvement.
