Is there any API call that opens the printer properties window? You can open it 
clicking the right mouse button in a printer icon and choosing properties from the 
context menu.

Answer:

1   uses
2     WinSpool;
3   
4   procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
5   var
6     hPrinter: THandle;
7     Device: array[0..255] of char;
8     Driver: array[0..255] of char;
9     Port: array[0..255] of char;
10    hDeviceMode: THandle;
11  begin
12    {can use other index than default or omit this statement if printer 
13  		already selected}
14    Printer.PrinterIndex := -1;
15    Printer.GetPrinter(Device, Driver, Port, hDeviceMode);
16    if WinSpool.OpenPrinter(@Device, hPrinter, nil) then
17    try
18      PrinterProperties(Handle, hPrinter);
19    finally
20      WinSpool.ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
21    end;
22  end;
