Re: how to check if printer is offline/connected in vb .Net

[Ken Tucker [MVP]]

Hi,


Add a reference to system.management

Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection

Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_Printer")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Debug.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} Status {1} ", mo("Name"), mo("Status")))

Next
