Retrieve a user’s default printer name.

@M_BrubacherSep 24.2003

Is it possible to retrieve a user’s default printer name?
I am using the WScript.Network object to change a user’s default printer in the onload event of an HTML document. I need to change the default printer back to the original value when the user leaves the page. I have been unable to find a method of detecting the default printer name.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
