im making an application and i need to install a printer in a computer. The application im trying to do is a client-server application so the idea is that the server send the instruction to the client telling him what to do and then the client will do it, in this case it will go to a SAMBA directory and it will get the drivers for the printer model from there and after that it will install the printer, everything in silent mode.

get a list of printer's (name,port,model) from a computer over the network. I know how to list my own, but it's from querying the Win32_printer object on my machine, I need to be able to do something similar on a remote machine.

Ive searched the forum and found numerous ways to print to pdf using itextsharp or a local pdf printer which is great. The problem I have is that "from what I can see" paths are specified to documents which are trying to be converted.Can anyone tell me if its possible for the VB code to point to say a pdf printer but not specify the document I wish to send. The reason for this (and if you've seen a simular post in the VB6 forum sorry - I decided to try .net). Im trying to incorporate the process to create an API.

I am trying to print to a network printer from a web page. To do this I am using PrintDocument and some simple code that I found. When I run this code while debugging in visual studios it works fine but when I move it to our server (windows server 2003 - only happens on x64) it gives an invalid handle exception. I don't believe it is a connection problem with the printer because I am able to print while remotely logged on to the server and the error comes up when trying to print to a file as well.
Protected Sub Button1_Click() Handles Button1.Click
myPrint = New PrintDocument()
myPrint.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "\printserverprinter"
myPrint.PrintController = New StandardPrintController()
myPrint.Print()
End Sub
I need to create an exe in VS2010 with VB that does the same thing as a simple command line. The reason is related to debugging. I can type ECHO ~ > \WIN7MMF25$ in a command window on a W2K8R2E server and it will send the ~ character to the shared "printer" on the Win7 PC. Actually, the device is a cash drawer connected to LPT1 that pops open when it sees a ~ character.
Anyway, I created a CMD file with that command, saved it, fired it, and the cash drawer on the Win7 PC opens. However, when I try to call that command file from our ERP application, it doesn't work (it does work if the remote PC is XP, though - just not if it is Win7 or Vista).
Anyway, I was hoping if I created a simple EXE and called THAT from the ERP software, perhaps whatever issue is bugging us will not bug us anymore.
We have large IBM Infoprint printers. I need to read a bunch of PDF files off a database, merge them together, and send it to one of these printers. I need to be able to specify many options such as what tray to use, with/without staple, etc. All of these options can be manually set when I try to print something off my computer (via the advanced print driver preferences), so I am certain that these can also be set programmatically. How can I do this in .NET (Visual Basic)?

I have developed a windows application for my company. It is a multi user software and we are using sql 2008 as the database. The sql 2008 is installed in our company server. Within our LAN, there is no problem in accessing the software and its working pretty fine.
Now the problem is, some of the managers need to go out frequently(for business tour and all) and they need access to this software. The software is already installed in their laptops.Is there any way to access the database that is in our company server ???
