Hi Experts
I'm developing an application that shows the status of printer local and network both. There are 2 problems in my application. First problem is that the Status of Toner is not correct. I have used the PRINTER_STATUS_NO_TONER & PRINTER_STATUS_TONER_LOW for toner status. This is not giving me correct status. 2 thing is that my printer is not showing all information of network Printer. Because, through the help of Port Ping I am showing information of printer status.
Please help me how to retrieve correct information. I am using WMI query that is

Select * from Win32_PingStatus where Address = '" + IPAddress + "'";

where IPAddress = printer port.
Please help me to identify these problems
Thanks
Shashi
