Hello,

I want to show the name of the printer when I use the below code. I am not getting the result. The code runs without any error but it did not show the desired result. Please help.
And also tell me how to design this form.

C#

public static StringCollection GetPrintersCollection()
{
        StringCollection printerNameCollection = new StringCollection();
        string searchQuery = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer";
        ManagementObjectSearcher searchPrinters =
              new ManagementObjectSearcher(searchQuery);
        ManagementObjectCollection printerCollection = searchPrinters.Get();
        foreach (ManagementObject printer in printerCollection)
        {
          MessageBox.Show(""+  printerNameCollection.Add(printer.Properties["Name"].Value.ToString()));
        }
        return printerNameCollection;
}

Thanks!

You can obtain all printer names with this code:

using System.Drawing.Printing;

private void showprinters ()
{
     foreach (String printer in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
     {
         //printer.ToString()
         //You can use the printer name for everything you need.
     }
}
