Default Printer from ASP Page?? Please help 1

[amutinu]

Hello All,
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve the default printer name when the client accesses the asp page. I need to be able to code my asp page so that when the user clicks "Print", it shows which default printer it's going to print to. I do not want to display the standard print dialog box.

I would really appreciate it if someone can please let me know to do this. thanks,

read this FAQ from 4guysfromrolla.com about not displaying the printer dialog screen:

You cannot by-pass the Print Dialog without a COM object.

thanks for your responses, but i wasn't really looking to bypass the print dialog for printing. I only wanted to retrieve the default printer name so that i can display it on the asp page. So when the client is accessing the site and they want to know what the default printer is, i want to display it on the asp page.

so please let me know if there is a way to just display the printer name and nothing else?

thanks,
