Ooops! I missed that (he shouldn't have put in in parenthesis *grin*)...

There is GetDefaultPrinter that works under NT/W2K, but I've never used it.

You can get the default printer using Word.application dialog, but that's iffy:

oWord = CREATEOBJECT("word.application")
oDialog = oWord.Dialogs(97)
? odialog.printer
