How do I find out what the default printer is ?

For .NET 1.1 I believe you'd have to P/Invoke down to the Win32 function
EnumPrinters and specify PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT in the Flags parameter.

Although you can probably use WMI to get this as well (check out the
System.Management namespace).

For .NET 2.0 there is the System.Printing namespace, specifically
LocalPrintServer.DefaultPrintQueue. (At least I don't think
System.Printing was in .NET 1.1 and priot.)
