Windows 7 - Default Printer Name
  • Hello,

    I am using Windows 7 EE and I have problem to identify default printer driver using PDFCreator COM property "cDefaultPrinter". Maybe the reason is new OS manager for default printers in different networks. I turned off support of different def. printers for each network in manager, but still same output => NOTHING (empty string).

    Regards,

    Jakub

  • Hi Jakub,

    we use the VB6 printer object to determine the defaultprinter.

    cDefaultPrinter = Printer.DeviceName

    Possible that this doesn't work anymore in Windows 7. We will check this.
