Answer 1

You can also use the LocalPrintServer class. See: System.Printing.LocalPrintServer

    public List  InstalledPrinters
    {
        get
        {
            return (from PrintQueue printer in new LocalPrintServer().GetPrintQueues(new[] { EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Local,
                EnumeratedPrintQueueTypes.Connections }).ToList()
                    select printer.Name).ToList(); 
        } 
    }

As stated in the docs: Classes within the System.Printing namespace are not supported for use within a Windows service or ASP.NET application or service.
