Get network printer’s shared name, not UNC?

[Mateus]

Hi All,

I’m using code provided by someone clever than me to print to our networked Zebra printers. This is fine but it requires the shared path of the network printer (not the UNC as returned by PrintDialog.PrinterSettings.PrinterName).

Is there a way to get PrinterDialog to return the shared path rather than the UNC?

I’ve search this forum and Google but couldn’t find any solutions.

Many thanks,
M.

Oh after posting the above I stumbled across this: Printer Information Example - VB.Net 2005 | Wade's Word

The example code provided by Wade returns all manor of printer details including server and share names.

Problem, hopefully, solved!
