printer related info

[tolisss]

Hi

can someone saw me the right way of retrieving all printers of a system
along with their basic info such as port,papersize etc.

the only i found is PrinterSettings.InstalledPriters collection but
that does not give any info except printer names.

can it be done managed or do i have to use winApi?

thnks

tolisss,

You can create a new PrinterSettings class instances, and then set the
PrinterName property on the instance to the name of the printer (and you
have all the names now from the call to InstalledPrinters).

Hope this helps.
