Library? do you mean driver?

When you create a network printer via the wizard, you have an
opportunity to specify the printer's IP.
 
You see, i make a SNMP request to discover all SNMP devices on the
network. Off these devices i am only intersted in Netowork pritner.
My PC would not be aware of any printers nor it is configured to use
them. Once i have the IP address of the printer, i would want to
programatically interact with it. This is what i meant for "Library"
in my previous posting. or a sequence of windows API calls to do the
job.

There are more programing-specific forums. This forum is more for
end-users.
 
Depending on how deeply programatic you mean, look at rundll32 and some of
the printer-specific dlls that can be called programatically, even from
simple scripts.
