I use a routine that automatically selects the default printer,
But I would now like to be able to override the default selection
and select another printer. I use this code to obtain the
printer info:-

	PRINTDLG sPd;
	LPDEVMODE ptr;
	LPDEVNAMES lpDevNames;
	memset(&sPd,0,sizeof(PRINTDLG));
	sPd.lStructSize = sizeof(PRINTDLG);
	sPd.hwndOwner = hWnd;
	sPd.Flags = PD_RETURNDEFAULT;
	PrintDlg(&sPd);
	lpDevNames = (LPDEVNAMES)GlobalLock(sPd.hDevNames);
	lpcDriver = (LPSTR)lpDevNames + lpDevNames->wDriverOffset;  
	lpcDevice = (LPSTR)lpDevNames + lpDevNames->wDeviceOffset;
	lpcPort = (LPSTR)lpDevNames + lpDevNames->wOutputOffset;
	GlobalUnlock(sPd.hDevNames);
	ptr = (LPDEVMODE)GlobalLock(sPd.hDevMode);

and this gives me the default printer.
Any ideas?

Cheers,

David
