The following example shows how to use this method to install a second printer that differs in its properties from an existing printer only in location, port, and shared status.
LocalPrintServer myLocalPrintServer = new LocalPrintServer(PrintSystemDesiredAccess.AdministrateServer); PrintQueue sourcePrintQueue = myLocalPrintServer.DefaultPrintQueue; PrintPropertyDictionary myPrintProperties = sourcePrintQueue.PropertiesCollection; // Share the new printer using Remove/Add methods PrintBooleanProperty shared = new PrintBooleanProperty("IsShared", true); myPrintProperties.Remove("IsShared"); myPrintProperties.Add("IsShared", shared); // Give the new printer its share name using SetProperty method PrintStringProperty theShareName = new PrintStringProperty("ShareName", "\"Son of " + sourcePrintQueue.Name +"\""); myPrintProperties.SetProperty("ShareName", theShareName); // Specify the physical location of the new printer using Remove/Add methods PrintStringProperty theLocation = new PrintStringProperty("Location", "the supply room"); myPrintProperties.Remove("Location"); myPrintProperties.Add("Location", theLocation); // Specify the port for the new printer String[] port = new String[] { "COM1:" }; // Install the new printer on the local print server PrintQueue clonedPrinter = myLocalPrintServer.InstallPrintQueue("My clone of " + sourcePrintQueue.Name, "Xerox WCP 35 PS", port, "WinPrint", myPrintProperties); myLocalPrintServer.Commit(); // Report outcome Console.WriteLine("{0} in {1} has been installed and shared as {2}", clonedPrinter.Name, clonedPrinter.Location, clonedPrinter.ShareName); Console.WriteLine("Press Return to continue ..."); Console.ReadLine();
