Examples

The following example shows how to use the EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes enumeration to get a subset of available print queues.

// Specify that the list will contain only the print queues that are installed as local and are shared
array<System::Printing::EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes>^ enumerationFlags = {EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes::Local,EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes::Shared};

LocalPrintServer^ printServer = gcnew LocalPrintServer();

//Use the enumerationFlags to filter out unwanted print queues
PrintQueueCollection^ printQueuesOnLocalServer = printServer->GetPrintQueues(enumerationFlags);

Console::WriteLine("These are your shared, local print queues:\n\n");

for each (PrintQueue^ printer in printQueuesOnLocalServer)
{
   Console::WriteLine("\tThe shared printer " + printer->Name + " is located at " + printer->Location + "\n");
}
Console::WriteLine("Press enter to continue.");
Console::ReadLine();
// Specify that the list will contain only the print queues that are installed as local and are shared
EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes[] enumerationFlags = {EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Local,
                                                EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Shared};

LocalPrintServer printServer = new LocalPrintServer();

//Use the enumerationFlags to filter out unwanted print queues
PrintQueueCollection printQueuesOnLocalServer = printServer.GetPrintQueues(enumerationFlags);

Console.WriteLine("These are your shared, local print queues:\n\n");

foreach (PrintQueue printer in printQueuesOnLocalServer)
{
    Console.WriteLine("\tThe shared printer " + printer.Name + " is located at " + printer.Location + "\n");
}
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue.");
Console.ReadLine();
' Specify that the list will contain only the print queues that are installed as local and are shared
Dim enumerationFlags() As EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes = {EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Local, EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Shared}

Dim printServer As New LocalPrintServer()

'Use the enumerationFlags to filter out unwanted print queues
Dim printQueuesOnLocalServer As PrintQueueCollection = printServer.GetPrintQueues(enumerationFlags)

Console.WriteLine("These are your shared, local print queues:" & vbLf & vbLf)

For Each printer As PrintQueue In printQueuesOnLocalServer
    Console.WriteLine(vbTab & "The shared printer " & printer.Name & " is located at " & printer.Location & vbLf)
Next printer
Console.WriteLine("Press enter to continue.")
Console.ReadLine()

Remarks

Use these values with the GetPrintQueues method to list subsets of available print queues.

PushedMachineConnection and PushedUserConnection refer to policies that enable automated connection of machines and users to printers. See the section "Deploying Printers to Users or Computers by Using Group Policy" in the Step-by-Step Guide for Print Management.
