Using WMI is the common option for this kind of task...

    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer");

                foreach (ManagementObject printer in searcher.Get())
                {
                    string printerName = printer["Name"].ToString().ToLower();
                    Console.WriteLine("Printer :" + printerName);
                    PrintProps(printer, "Status");
                    PrintProps(printer, "PrinterState");
                    PrintProps(printer, "PrinterStatus");


                }

}

static void PrintProps(ManagementObject o, string prop)     
{         
        try { Console.WriteLine(prop + "|" + o[prop]); 
        }         
        catch (Exception e) 
        { 
            Console.Write(e.ToString()); 
        }     
}
