Hi!

How can I get the printer properties (the same as right click-properties in
the Printer menu) in a VB.NET 2005 application.  I have the collection of
the printers but need to get to the properties.

Regards

Do you mean get the properties (via wmi or similar) or open the printer
properties dialog...

rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /p /n\\<servername>\<printer>

If above then great... otherwise, what properties are you after?
