Loading Printer Name

Question

Hi all,

I want to write code in C# for loading printer name in window. But I don't have any ideas to write it.

Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

Thanks. Ung Sopolin

Answer 1

Include a reference to the System.Drawing library and then:

var printers = PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Cast<string>();

foreach (var printer in printers)
{
    Console.WriteLine(printer);
}

Answer 2

Use PrinterSettings class from the System.Drawing.Printing namespace

PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters

should return you a list of Printers.

Answer 3

PrinterSettings prSetting = new PrinterSettings();

Then prSetting.PrinterName will get you the name of the default printer name. You can use the same class for other Printer information.
