    <p>Me and a colleague have tried lots of stuff to find a solution for this and we figured this worked: </p> <pre><code>private string[] GetAvailablePrinters() { var installedPrinters = new string[PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count]; PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.CopyTo(installedPrinters, 0); var printers = new List&lt;string&gt;(); var printServers = new List&lt;string&gt;(); var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer"); foreach (var printer in searcher.Get()) { var serverName = @"\\" + printer["SystemName"].ToString().TrimStart('\\'); if (!printServers.Contains(serverName)) printServers.Add(serverName); } foreach (var printServer in printServers) { var server = new PrintServer(printServer); try { var queues = server.GetPrintQueues(); printers.AddRange(queues.Select(q =&gt; q.Name)); } catch (Exception) { // Handle exception correctly } } return printers.ToArray(); } </code></pre> <p>The trick is that when a printserver is not available, GetPrintQueues will throw some specific exception. By only adding the printers that don't throw such an exception, we get a list of all the connected printers. This doesn't check if a printer is turned on/off because that actually doesn't matter. If it is turned off, the document will just be placed in the print queue and it can be printed later on.</p> <p>I hope this helps others who bump into this problem.</p> <p><strong>Sidenote:</strong> The reason I decided not to catch that specific exception, is because I would have to reference a dll just for that exception.</p>

    1. COThat's not a very good reason to ignore exceptions. Very bad habit to get into.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
