Once again printing in VB

[James Stanich]

What I am doing:

Making a custom print dialog.

I load all system printers in a combobox (Thanks guys for the help)!

My question now is how to determine the default printer on the system? I would like this one to be the deafult choice in my combobox.

Thanks in advance.

The printer object in VB is the default one of the system. You can test the name of that object against all of the enumerated ones.

this will bring up the printers window,
thereby letting the user choose what printers
are on his particular machine and change the
default...


Shell "C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE " & "shell32,Control_RunDLL " & "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MAIN.CPL" & ",Printers"


hope this helps in some way or another
