Any method to add printer programatically?

[Mullin Yu]

I want to know can I add printer programatically?

E.g. I want to create a File Printer to a specify local port, say,
C:\test\test.prn with the name as FilePrinter

Can I do so?

Thanks!

Regards,
Mullin

You can do it using wscript and then call the script inside C#. See msdn link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/script56/html/wsmthsetdefaultprinter.asp

var WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network");
var PrinterPath = "\\\\research\\library1";
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection(PrinterPath);
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter(PrinterPath);
