Dim objApp As Application = new Application ()

ok --> objApp.ActivePrinter = "\\192.168.11.11\hp LaserJet 1300 PCL 5e on Ne01"
error --> objApp.ActivePrinter = "\\192.168.11.11\hp LaserJet 1300 PCL 5e"
i pickup Printer name in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Item() ,
and these pickup item seems short " on Nexx" .

so now , how can i get the printer name ends with " on Nexx"
or say that how to get the correct printer name which objApp.ActivePrinter can accept.

Hi Roger,

Are you looping through the InstalledPrinters collection and picking up the string? - Seems like that should work.

BTW, this doesn't seem to be related to the PrintForm or Printer object in the Power Packs - you might have better luck asking your question on the Windows Forms forum.

Hope this helps,
