wildfire1982 Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 Hello, Im making a program which i would like to be able to print to an acrobat writer. I realise that i can just print to the writer but i dont really want to have to ask the user the name of the printer. So first of all, i would need to know how to detect whether the writer is available, if it is i would then need to find a way of getting the name of this printer. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? thanks very much. Chris Quote Chris
AndreRyan Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 You can step through all the installed printers using PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters Copy and paste this URL into the addressbar to open the MSDN article: http://ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdrawingprintingprintersettingsclassinstalledprinterstopic.htm Quote .Net allows software to be written for any version of Windows and not break like Unmanaged applications unless using Unmanaged procedures like APIs. If your program uses large amounts of memory but releases it when something else needs it, then what's the problem?
VBUser Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Check that the files exist or check the string in the Uninstall registry key. That key gives you a list of programs installed on the computer Quote
