Win32_Printer python sample code
The foundations for Manageability in Windows is Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI; formerly WBEM) and WMI extensions for Windows Driver Model (WDM).
ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides the ability to build monitor check routines based on WMI. ActiveXperts has collected more than a hundred WMI samples. You can use these samples as a base for new check routines you can write yourself. The Win32_Printer WMI class can be used in ActiveXperts Network Monitor to monitor your servers.
Description
The Win32_Printer WMI class represents a device connected to a Windows computer system that can reproduce a visual image on paper or other medium.
