Do you know how to find the default printer?
I never bothered to find out because I don't believe in messing with
the Windows settings, and use my own printer selection routines, and
remember the last-selected/used printer to use as a default.

Or do you just need to know how to get the status of the printer you
have open?

If you have FireFox, you can look here

Or Google for PRINTER_INFO_2 then press the Groups link at the top.
The first link is to a Microsoft forum

Add the word borland to your search:	"PRINTER_INFO_2 borland"
And you find this EnumPrinters code.
