Firstly, as always on this site, thank you for your replies. I don't know why I don't do this in the first place, but here is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
I have built a utility for the desktop team with some useful tools. This utility will be distributed around Europe. There is a drop down box where the engineer will choose their site location, e.g. UK, Spain, Italy. Then based on the location, another drop list displays available printers. Now, I have no idea how I could get the drop down list to connect to the server and then display the printers available (if anyone knows I would be fascinated to find out how), but instead I thought i could get a list of printers from an .ini file. The engineer would then select the printer, click on a button and the printer would install. There also needs to be a line in the ini file with the install share path. There will be 3 other drop down boxes with the available printers for that site so that the engineer can install 4 printers all at once.
i hope this makes sense.
An example is below of the ini file layouts I have worked with.

[Italy]
