I've been tasked with writing a PERL script that will run on several different Windows systems - each with their own flavor of printer (Epson, HP, etc.)

There has got to be a way to query the OS for the printer format attributes (bold, underline, font, etc.) for the specific printer attached. I won't know what kinds of printer they have so I can't build the attributes ahead of time.

Can anyone point me in a direction of wisdom?

update (broquaint): added formatting
