We have a custom software that some of our clients use that we wrote. When these users are in out backend website i want the website to know if they have the program installed on the computer they are logged in on. I know javascript can't access to see if a program is installed but wondering if there was something else that could be used. Even if I have to get our printing software written in a different language (its in C# .net) I need to find a way. Our clients use all sort of browsers so it would need to work on the main browsers.

There's no way you're going to achieve this without writing your own plugins.  There is also no browser plugin api standard.  In both cases you need a plugin of some sort.  If it's IE, then you can write your own activex control -- or whatever the equivalent tech is called these days.
