Scan Network Printers to get type and model


using windows forms-visual basic 2013, I'm working on task to scan range of IP's say 10.10.200.1 to 10.10.200.100 Looping over IP's, if IP ping check if computer return computer name ans OS name

this part done with no issues using WMI, IF wmi connected to IP successfully (this mean IP assigned to computer) I collect required data if not I cancel this IP.

NOW

if IP is Printer I need to return printer type, model and other available data

how I can Collect Network printer data?

I need to get result like this

IP.........................Printer type........Model

=========== ============= ========

10.10.200.50......... HP................. MFP3050

10.10.200.60..........Xerox .............printer model

and so on

I searched over web and all posts used to collect data from INSTALLED printers on local or remote computer and i don't need that.

most printer can answer SNMP request. Using the MIB you should be able to find make & model.
OR just snmpwalk the the ipaddress to find some useful items.
This question needs an answer!
