Check if printer supports postscript

Question

is there any way to check if printer supports postscript, using C#? I need to check this before I do anything with my document.

Thanks, Bartosz

You could use WMI potentially, however im not sure if this solution will be reliable

System.Management.ObjectQuery oq = new System.Management.ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer");
ManagementObjectSearcher mos = new ManagementObjectSearcher(oq);
ManagementObjectCollection moc = mos.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in moc )
{

    string name = mo["Name"].ToString();
    string language = mo["DefaultLanguage"].ToString();
    MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Printer: {0} -- Language: {1}", name, language));
}

Lifted from here

Update

Check here to see other fields that might be relevant

Win32_Printer class

In particular uint16 LanguagesSupported[];
