Hi,

Use the wmi for that.

' Add a Reference to System.Management

Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection

Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_Printer")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Dim strOut As String

strOut = String.Format("{0} - Driver {1}", mo("Name"), mo("DriverName"))

Trace.WriteLine(strOut)

Next
