SystemPrinters.Item

Property Item(nIndex As Long) As Printer

The Item property returns a Printer value, which specifies the printer in the collection.

The Item property is the default property and its reference can be omitted when accessing an items in the collection. For example, Printers.Item(2) is the same as Printers(2) — they both reference the second printer in the SystemPrinters collection.

The Item property returns a read-only value.
