PrintQueue.Name Property

Definition

Gets or sets the print queue's name.

C#
public override sealed string Name { get; set; }
C#
public override sealed string Name { get; }

Property Value

The name of the print queue.

Examples

The following example shows how to use this property to list a subset of available print queues.

C#
// 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();

Remarks

The PrintQueue object also has a read only FullName property and a writeable ShareName property.

For queues on the local print server, Name and FullName are the same.
