Get printers from remote machine and add to listBox1

hi all,

i want add network printers on remote machine listbox. googling found couple of visual basic scripts meant visual studio reporting set , no longer used.

right have scheduled task runs every morning outputs list of shared printers on server text file c sharp app reads more automated , read directly server's printer list. 

can advise me need this, or learn how populate this? 

notes:

code found online:

 strcomputer = ".";            
set objwmiservice = getobject("winmgmts:\\" & strcomputer & "\root\cimv2");            
set colitems = objwmiservice.execquery("select * win32_printer",, 48);            
for each objitem in colitems;

(change . server name). put in each code listbox1.items.add;

my current code:

using system;  using system.collections.generic;  using system.componentmodel;  using system.data;  using system.drawing;  using system.linq;  using system.text;  using system.threading.tasks;  using system.windows.forms;  using system.management;  using system.diagnostics;            namespace getlcprintprinters  {      public partial class form1 : form      {          public form1()          {                initializecomponent();              listbox1.sorted = true;              string[] lines = system.io.file.readalllines("t:\\pwm\\printers.txt");                listbox1.items.addrange(lines);              (int n = listbox1.items.count - 1; n >= 0; --n)              {                                    string removelistitem = "sharename";                  if (listbox1.items[n].tostring().contains(removelistitem))                  {                      listbox1.items.removeat(n);                                        }              }                }            public void button1_click(object sender, eventargs e)          {              string printerwanted;              printerwanted = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring().trim();              string script;              //script = "rundll32 printui.dll,printuientry /in /n" + printerwanted;              string quote = "\"";              script = " printui.dll,printuientry /in /n" + quote + "\\\\lcprint\\"  + printerwanted + quote;              process proc = new process();              proc.startinfo.filename = "rundll32";              proc.startinfo.arguments = script.tostring();              proc.startinfo.createnowindow = false;              proc.startinfo.useshellexecute = true;                proc.start();                        }            public void listbox1_selectedindexchanged(object sender, eventargs e)          {              string printerwanted;              string quote = "\"";              printerwanted = listbox1.selecteditem.tostring().trim();              textbox1.text = quote + "\\\\lcprint\\" + printerwanted + quote;          }      }  }
