We can get the list of Printer(s) installed on a particular machine by using the following method.
|
|
First of all we have to use the “System.Drawing.Printing” namespace. PrintDocument and PrinterSettings classes are present inside this namespace. Using these classes we can easily get the list of Printer(s).
|
private bool GetPrinterList()
{
bool retVal = false;
PrintDocument prtdoc = new PrintDocument();
//prt.PrinterSettings.PrinterName returns the name of the Default Printer
string strDefaultPrinter = prtdoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
//this will loop through all the Installed printers and add the Printer Names to a ComboBox.
foreach (String strPrinter in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
{
cmbPrinter.Properties.Items.Add(strPrinter);
//This will set the ComboBox Index where the Default Printer Name matches with the current Printer Name returned by for loop
if (strPrinter.CompareTo(strDefaultPrinter) == 0)
{
cmbPrinter.SelectedIndex = cmbPrinter.Properties.Items.IndexOf(strPrinter);
retVal = true;
}
}
return retVal;
}
