this code snippet might help you: you need to add System.Drawing DLL if its not present in your project references... //CODE: using System.Drawing.Printing; public string GetDefaultPrinterName() { foreach (string name in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters) { var ps = new PrinterSettings {PrinterName = name}; if (ps.IsDefaultPrinter) return name; } return No Defaut Printer Set; }

Well I don't think you can capture that as the control move out from C# or .net framework to windows OS? if you're able to solve it please let me know also.
