<br> Hi Stuart, The registry entries for User's Default Printer are:
Win 9x: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows] NT/XP: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows] "Device"="Printer Name" The device is the name used to represent the printer in the registry. The name can be found in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings] key. Machine name is part of the "Printer Name," which you can use to ping directly (i.e., w/out having to look-up its IP address). Hope this helps. Regards, <i>Khalid </i> <br>
