I need the exact name of the printdriver, but i get a wrong

jesper

i have this code:

public void comboFillPrinterDrivers()

{

try

{

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_PrinterDriver");

foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())

{

listPrinterDriver.Add(queryObj["Name"]);

}

catch (ManagementException ef)

{

MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " + ef.Message);

}

comboDriver.DataSource = listPrinterDriver.Distinct().ToList();

}

This peace of code print out the installed printer drivers i this format:

HP Universal Printing PCL 6,3,Windows x64
