Well let me put in this way. I want to install/uninstall a printer without using windows "Add Printer". I want to write my own utility for this. Can you please guide me how to do this,

a better route for you to take would be:
Pick a language that you know
Ask for help in one of the software development help forums in the "Languanges" group, under the "Fourms" tab above.

The Windows forum is more about System Administration than it is about development.

Thanks for joining TheScipts.
