Get available printers

[Jeff Williams]

I am looking for a way to get the list of printers and there port name
so I can populate a combobox.

What I need to do is get the printer name and if it is a network printer
the path and share name.

Place the printer name in a combobox and the share name as a value in
the combo box which I can then pass to another .net application.

I would appreciate any help or links to code which would show how to do
this.

Jeff,

Installed printers you can get from PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters

Look at the MSDN for this property the article there comes with a sample
code.
