Changing the settings of a printer


hi all,

i am trying create windows forms application allows user print sequence of files. want print using shell execute (system.diagnostics.process). however, want give user ability select printer & printer settings print through.

i have tried code given in following article,

http://www.codeproject.com/articles/6899/changing-printer-settings-using-c

using it, able change settings of local printers, attempting access remote printers throws "access denied" win32exception - after making changes suggested in comments.

i have tried system.printing namespace. attempting create printquery on local printer (windows xps document writer) throws error stating "attempt security transparent method 'ms.internal.printwin32thunk.printerdefaults.dispose(boolean)' access security critical method 'ms.internal.printwin32thunk.printerdefaults.internaldispose(boolean)' failed."

is there way through c#? appreciated, have been banging head on screen while now. :p

thanks!

cheers,

thimila
