Hello,

rethinking over it I think my previous post was not what you wanted (since it changed global printer settings)

You just want read the settings from the dialog to prepare a local print job (or whatever) without changing any printer settings constantly?!

if so you might want to check out:
PrintDlg or PrintDlgEx functions:
