I need to load all the available printers
- including network ones - in a combobox.

Would anybody so kind as to show me how to do it? Thank you

You can get a list of installed printers using the static
"InstalledPrinters" property of the PrinterSettings class.

using System.Drawing.Printing;

try
{
foreach (string printer in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
{
this.comboBox1.Items.Add(printer);
}
}
catch
{
// ... handle exception ...
}
