Is there a way to Launch the Printer Control panel from a C# application,
and if so will the same command work on a Vista computer? I am thinking I
will have to do a System.Diagnostics.Process.Start, but I don't know what I
need to start.

Thanks,

Eric Renken
 
Hi Eric,

To open the Printers Folder, you could simply use
%windir%\system32\control.exe and pass "printers" as the command line:

control.exe printers

This still works on Vista.
