Hi Experts, Is it possible to get a network printers IP Address once mapped to my machine? I map printer through run print server printername. .NET Class to print directly to windows printer By Allen Stoner If you want to print a PCL file directly to an HP printer you need to bypass the Windows printer driver.

Hello Friends, I don't know, if it is a proper place to ask this question. I am working on VB.Net (2008). Now my requirement is like.

If there is a default printer, form should be printed directly from that printer. (Form print code is working perfact. Hp V-m200 Firmware. ) But if there is no printer present and in place of printer there is Office Documnet Writer or etc.

Then it should display message. So, main question is, How can i know information about installed Printer(s)? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Utkarsh Gajjar. Utkarsh Gajjar. Once you get the list of strings, you can get information for each of the printers by constructing a new PrinterSettings class and setting it's PrinterName property to the printer whose properties you want to retrieve. Not exactly a 'consistent' way of doing it from an MS perspective, but it works.

Also, don't be fooled by the PrintToFile property, that doesn't indicate whether or not the driver prints to file, but rather that the user has checked the 'Print To File' checkbox on the Print Dialog.

Visual Basic 6.0 had an intrinsic Printer object that you could use without explicitly declaring it. In contrast, the Printer Compatibility library behaves like any other.NET Framework object; you must explicitly declare a.NET Framework Printer object before you can use it. After you upgrade your project, you could add Printer object like this: 1) On the Project menu, click Add Reference. 2) In the Add Reference dialog box, on the.NET tab, click Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Printer, and then click OK. 3) In the Code Editor, add the following statement at the top of the module that contains your Visual Basic 6.0 Printer code: Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 4) Add the following code at the top of the procedure that contains Printer code: Public Printer As New Printer.
