HoW can i set default printer for crystalreport

I want to set default printer in crystalreport.
Because, every i print , i have to choose printer before printing.

Yes. I can manually operate setup printer default by in PRINTER AND FAXS.
But i want to set by code ?

You have to find the original print button on the report viewer control and replace it with on of your own. You then handle that button click event. In the event handler, you assign a printer to your report document and then print it. Some thing like this:

vb.net Code:

'Create your own print button
    Private WithEvents PrintReportToolStripButton As New ToolStripButton()
 
    'In form load, find the original print button on th report viewer and replace it with your own button
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        
        For Each ctrl As Control In Me.CrystalReportViewer1.Controls
            If TypeOf ctrl Is ToolStrip Then
                Dim ts As ToolStrip = DirectCast(ctrl, ToolStrip)
                If ts.Items.Count > 1 Then
                    Me.PrintReportToolStripButton.Image = ts.Items(1).Image
                    ts.Items.RemoveAt(1)
                    ts.Items.Insert(1, Me.PrintReportToolStripButton)
                End If
            End If
        Next
        
    End Sub
 
    'Handling your own print button click event
    Private Sub PrintReportToolStripButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintReportToolStripButton.Click
        'Assign a printer to your report document
        Me.reportDocument1.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "put the name of the printer you want to use here"
        'Then print the document
        Me.reportDocument1.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 1, 1)
    End Sub
