Hi Klaus ! :O)

Add a reference to System.Management.dll :
'***
Option Explicit On

Imports System.management

Module MainModule

Public Sub Main()
Console.WriteLine(GetDefaultPrinter())
End Sub

Private Function GetDefaultPrinter() As String

Dim mos As ManagementObjectSearcher = New
ManagementObjectSearcher( _
"select Name from Win32_Printer where Default = TRUE")

For Each mo As ManagementObject In mos.Get()
Return DirectCast(mo("Name"), String)
Next

Return String.Empty

End Function

End Module
'***
