Hi,

I'm thinking about writing .net codes (asp.net, vb.net) for printing
management, such as keep tracking of who prints what on when...etc. The app
will need to find all available network printers and then manage them. Also
it will have the ability to deny printing job base on user.

So far my research points me to system.management and WMI directions.
Can anyone confirm if these are right directions to start with?
Or other newsgroups to ask about this?

I’ll be creating database to store printing info. Any .net sample codes
that do any of the following - find available network printers, printing
privileges, controlling printing job and print spooler?

Thanks in advance,
CM
 
I am looking into to similiar, though i want my application (VB.Net 2.0) to
map to certain printers depending on the name of the computer.

This data will be taken from a DB, the easy part, but what i can't figure
out is how to map printers.

At the moment my organization is using vbs scripts which are a hassle
considering the amount of printers that we have.
