    My comment:
    The name of the default printer can be read from the Windows Registry: use GetProfileString function with "Windows" and "Device" passed as first two parameters.

    Note that GetDefaultPrinter function requires at least Win2K and is not supported on older Windows versions. On Win9*/Me the EnumPrinters called with PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT flag returns information about the default printer.

    See also: SetDefaultPrinter, APRINTERS().

    Dear Patrick O'Hara (pohara@recyclingit.com),

    I appreciate your opinion but you are wrong. This code sample is nothing like fraudulent or stolen. If this is all about the small amount of money you paid for it -- a refund has been issued.

    I do my best and I try to be as honest towards the visitors on my website as possible.
