The name of the currently selected printer driver is stored in the system file
in resource 'STR '(-8192). If the user has never selected a printer, that
string
will be empty. A more subtle problem occurs if the user has selected a printer
and the printer driver had been moved, renamed, or deleted. This is left as an
exercise for the user. (Don't forget to look in both the Syustem folder and the
Extensions folder under System 7, and to resolve aliases! )
