List all printers connected to the network 1

[blounty]

Hi all,

Before i begin i must stress i am amazingly new to .net so please be gentle with me. Is it possible to create a list of all printers connected to the network that the computer this program will be run on is a part of? i am sure it would be possible as there are programs like print Audit available. i know i am asking alot of you guys i don expect soemone to do the work for me just a point in the right direction.

I really appreciate your time...

Regards

Al

Very simple

System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters

will give you a collection of printers installed on this computer.

Hi christiaan,

thanks for your reply, i am actually looking for a way to pick up all printers attached to the network not just installed on the computer, hence the problem.

Hope you can help.
