Code to install a printer driver works on Windows 7 but not Windows 8

Question

I tried this C# code to add printer and printer drivers to Windows. It worked on Windows 7 but not on Windows 8. Exception (Generic failure) occurred when the code calls moPrinter.Put(). Can anyone tell why this error encountered when running Windows 8, and why not Windows 7?

    public static bool AddCanonPrinter()
    {
        bool flag = true;
        try
        {
            String portNumber = "9100";
            String printerIP = "157.198.192.42";
            String portName = "IP_" + printerIP;
            ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
            options.EnablePrivileges = true;
            ManagementScope mscope = new ManagementScope(ManagementPath.DefaultPath, options);
            mscope.Connect();

            ManagementPath mpPort = new ManagementPath("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort");
            ManagementClass mcPort = new ManagementClass(mscope, mpPort, new ObjectGetOptions());
            ManagementObject moPort = mcPort.CreateInstance();
            moPort.Properties["Name"].Value = portName;
            moPort.Properties["HostAddress"].Value = printerIP;
            moPort.Properties["PortNumber"].Value = portNumber;
            moPort.Properties["Protocol"].Value = 1;
            moPort.Put();

            ManagementPath mpPrinter = new System.Management.ManagementPath("Win32_Printer");
            ManagementClass mcPrinter = new ManagementClass(mscope, mpPrinter, new ObjectGetOptions());
            ManagementObject moPrinter = mcPrinter.CreateInstance();
            moPrinter.Properties["Name"].Value = "Canon";
            moPrinter.Properties["DeviceID"].Value = "Canon";
            moPrinter.Properties["DriverName"].Value = "Canon iR C2880/C3380";
            moPrinter.Properties["PortName"].Value = portName;
            moPrinter.Properties["Network"].Value = true;
            moPrinter.Properties["Shared"].Value = false;
            moPrinter.Put();
        }
        catch
        {
            int msgCode = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
            string msg = GetSystemMessage(msgCode);
            flag = false;

        }

        return flag;
    }

Actually after I investigate the problem, I have found that the printer drivers names are different in windows 8. so the same code could be used and work successfully in windows 8.
