Получение значков принтеров текущего пользователя

Вот что я наконец придумал. Для различных интерфейсов OLE вам понадобится расширенная библиотека типов IShellFolder v1.2. Я уверен, что эту библиотеку типов можно лучше перенести на VB6, но в любом случае вот результат:

Option Explicit

Private Const CSIDL_PRINTERS    As Long = &H4
Private Const SHGFI_PIDL        As Long = &H8
Private Const SHGFI_ICON        As Long = &H100
Private Const SHGFI_DISPLAYNAME As Long = &H200
Private Const MAX_PATH          As Long = 260

Private Declare Function SHGetDesktopFolder Lib "shell32" (ppshf As IShellFolder) As Long
Private Declare Function SHGetSpecialFolderLocation Lib "shell32.dll" (ByVal hwndOwner As Long, ByVal nFolder As Long, pidl As Long) As Long
Private Declare Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32.dll" (ByVal pv As Long)
Private Declare Function SHGetFileInfo Lib "shell32" Alias "SHGetFileInfoA" (pszPath As Any, ByVal dwFileAttributes As Long, psfi As SHFILEINFO, ByVal cbFileInfo As Long, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Private Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (pDest As Any, pSource As Any, ByVal dwLength As Long)
Private Declare Function OleCreatePictureIndirect Lib "olepro32.dll" (lpPictDesc As PICTDESC, riid As Any, ByVal fPictureOwnsHandle As Long, ppRet As IPicture) As Long

Private Type SHFILEINFO
    hIcon               As Long
    iIcon               As Long
    dwAttributes        As Long
    szDisplayName       As String * MAX_PATH
    szTypeName          As String * 80
End Type

Private Type PICTDESC
    Size                As Long
    Type                As Long
    hBmpOrIcon          As Long
    hPal                As Long

End Function

Вы не говорите, как вы вызываете SHGetFileInfo, но я предполагаю, что вам нужно установить флаг SHGFI_PIDL и использовать полностью определенный PIDL (и, возможно, SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES)

Чтобы получить общие / накладываемые значки по умолчанию, установите флаг SHGFI_ADDOVERLAYS
