Read Windows default printer (not Application.printer) in VBA
Posted on 2012-12-20
It appears Access' Printer.DeviceName returns ACCESS' default printer.
I'm looking for a way to read the WINDOWS default printer.
I found THIS which allows me to SET the Windows default printer.
But, I can't find one that READS it.
