How can I find all printers that are installed on the computer

Hi.

How do you find all printers installed on a computer?

I'm searching for the name, location and port

You can use this :

There are two registry areas to check.

The first is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers. This key has subkeys enumerating each local printer. These printers are available to any who log in to the computer.

The second is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Connections. This key has subkeys enumerating each network printer. These printers are only available to you (or whomever is logged in to the computer at the script run time).

You can also use jguinch's excellent Printers Management UDF.
