I use following piece of code to change printers "port" property. Problem is it executes longer than a minute. Is there a way to speed it up? Can i instantiate management object not with all properties of wmi object? And more importantly, how can i update only 1 property? Maybe i should instantiate managementobject withouth searcher?
ManagementPath mPath = new ManagementPath();
mPath.Server = Server.TrimStart(new char[] {'\\'});
mPath.NamespacePath = "root\\cimv2";
ManagementScope mScope = new ManagementScope();
mScope.Options.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
mScope.Path = mPath;
SelectQuery sQ = new SelectQuery();
sQ.ClassName = "Win32_Printer";
//sQ.SelectedProperties.Add("PortName");
//sQ.SelectedProperties.Add("DeviceID");
sQ.Condition = string.Format("Name=\"{0}\"", Name);
ManagementObjectSearcher s = new ManagementObjectSearcher(mScope, sQ);
foreach (ManagementObject service in s.Get())
{
string oldname = service.Properties["PortName"].Value.ToString();
service.Properties["PortName"].Value = PortName;
service.Put( );
this.Port = PortName;
return true;
}
