Like this :

VB Code:

Dim P_Name As New PrintDocument
MessageBox.Show(P_Name.PrinterSettings.PrinterName())

VB Code:

Dim Settings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
Dim strPrinter As String = Settings.PrinterName

Re: Keeps you from having to create a PrintDocument

Ok , if you don't want to create any obj , then use the static class PrinterSettings .

VB Code:

Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Item(0)

will that return you the default printer, or just the first of your installed printers?

I've just tested it here and it returns the default printer name even if it's the last one installed .

OK, cool. Even fewer lines of code.
