You can use Runtime.getRuntime.exec(&quot;n<wbr />et &nbsp;view \\\\print_server_name&quot;);
</div>


You can use Runtime.getRuntime.exec("net  view \\\\print_server_name");

it seems that link has no answers either, net view or net use commands are OS dependent. &nbsp;<br />
im wondering if there is any API that we can use.

Java printing API does have a part which is called Printer discovery - maybe it will help:<br />

Stiil, I think in this API it will discover only local printer

so i guess there is no way to implement this idea in java ? <br />

Well, never say never, maybe someone will still come up with some idea<br />
Probably, for now if you just check the system and do some system specific discovery - maybe it is more practical<br />

hi, <br />
<br />
is that possible to list network printers in AD and connect it to local machine when a button clicked? <br />
I am wondering if this could be done in java. and if yes, can you please give me some ideas? <br />
<br />

how to list and map network printer in Active Directory using java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

Java

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java EE

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
