What I know is that it
should be possible using WMI, but, unfortunately the property value for this is apparently not set, at least for the printers we have, we got null values for the 2 properties we needed the most! :)
If you are running Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows NT Workstation 4.0, the WMI code for this would be something like this:
loLocator = createObject("wbemScripting.SwbemLocator")
loService = loLocator.ConnectServer()
loPrinters = loService.ExecQuery('Select * from Win32_Printer')
for each loPrinter in loPrinters
?? loPrinter.name, loPrinter.MarkingTechnology
if not Isnull(loPrinter.LanguagesSupported)
for each lnLanguage in loPrinter.LanguagesSupported
?? lnLanguage
endfor
else
?? 'No languages supported found'
endif
?
endfor
BUT...
Those properties return NULL for all the printers I tested, my guess is that it might be something to do with the drivers? I do not know, but if it runs for you, you were luckier than me :)
