Fred,

I tried the ActiveX control mentioned above and, although it returns some very useful information such as orientation, number of copies, etc., it does not have a property for the default printer or paper size. The Windows Default Printer is the information that I need most. Do you know if I am missing something in this control for obtaining the default printer?
