Hi,
You need to look up the wmi class to get a list of methods.
mo("Default") will return true if the printer is the default printer.

Hello,
I have the following code that sets the default printer using the WMI
(windows management system).
' Add a Reference to System.Management
Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection
Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher
Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject
moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_Printer")
moReturn = moSearch.Get
For Each mo In moReturn
If CType(mo("Name"), String) = Me.cboPrinter.Text Then
mo.InvokeMethod("SetDefaultPrinter", Nothing)
Exit For
End If
Next
This works fine, however, how do I get the default printer. How do I know
what methods Invokemethod accepts? Intellisense doesn't tell me.
Geri.
