Hello all,

Please help and suggest the code to get the printer status over the
network.
for Example, i have an string "\\\\os1\\PtName"

where os1 is the system name
and PtName is the printer name

I need to know the status of this printer on the system name "os1".
Please suggest me the code for that in C#.

I am using WMI but not able to get anything helpful stuff.


Thank's and Regards

You should have it installed locally on the machine running the app - that's 
better - and query win32_printers thru wmi
