Determining the Default Printer
|
I know there is a command to set the default printer (SETDEFAULTPRINTER), but is there a way to determine which printer is currently set as the default?

This following works for me:
$PrinterKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows"
$PrinterVal = "Device"
$TempString = READVALUE ($PrinterKey, $PrinterVal)
;The Printername is the first part of the registry value
$x = INSTR($TempString,",")
$TheAnswer = SUBSTR($TempString,1,$x-1)
With kind regards,
