Using Management Objects to check Online Printers

I have used the Management class for the first time now and I find it very interesting.

First you have to add a reference System.Managemnt to the project.

using System.Management;
ManagementScope mgmtscope=new ManagementScope(@"\root\cimv2");
mgmtscope.Connect();
ManagementObjectSearcher objsearcher=new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_Printer");
foreach(ManagementObject printer in objsearcher.Get())
{
    if(printer["WorkOffline"].ToString().Equals("true"))
    {
        printername=printer["Name"].ToString();
        MessageBox.Show(printername+"-Offline");
    }
}
