Okay.. and? Did you have some problem with the code that you have written that tries to get this information? Does your printer even support this information?

i try this code "
bool online = false;
try
{
PrintDocument printDocument = new PrintDocument();
printDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "192.168.5.2";
online = printDocument.PrinterSettings.IsValid;
}
catch
{
online = false;
}
return online;

Okay and exactly what is the problem with your code? Still does not answer the question whether you have researched whatever printer you have and see if it supports this type of operation. Why did you say in your posting that the printer name is "my-printer" but in your code you seem to think that your printer name is "192.168.5.2"?

Solution 1

The API calls you will need are wrapped up in this component[^] and it is a fairly simple job to convert the code to C# if VB.NET doesn't suit your needs.
