I would like to get the Name of the printer being used in a program.

To figure out which printer is the default check MSDN article Q246772 (HOWTO: Retrieve and Set the Default Printer in Windows)

The user can normally select another printer in the print dialog, though.

Hi,
Someone posted a answer to my default printer question by citing a refernce to MSDN article Q246772. How do I find this article. Hate to sound stupid but I don't know where to get this article.

Thanks.
