I am doing a Restaurant management project.

I should be printing the bill and item ordered details.
There are two inkjet printers, one for printing kitchen ordered details in the kitchen and another for Bill printing in cashier counter.

I am creating prn file every time.
I want to print each file to the corresponding printer and so must give the printer a name.

How to do it?

Please any help for this problem

Thanking you

You can use an ObjectQuery using System.Management to retrieve printers on the network, like this

C#

// Use the ObjectQuery to get the list of configured printers
            System.Management.ObjectQuery query =
                new System.Management.ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer");
 
            System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher searcher =
                new System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(oquery);
 
            System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection collection = searcher.Get();
 
            foreach (ManagementObject mo in collection)
            {
                System.Management.PropertyDataCollection pdc = mo.Properties;
                foreach (System.Management.PropertyData pd in pdc)
                {
                    if ((bool)mo["Network"])
                    {
                        cmbPrinters.Items.Add(mo[pd.Name]);
                    }
                }
            }

Hope this helps
