Comments

The GetCurrentPrinter function returns the current printer name and a string representing printer settings.

If no printer is available, the printer name szName is an empty, zero-length string. 

The printer settings string szDevModeString contains all current printer settings and can be saved by the application (Registry, INI file, etc.).  The SetCurrentPrinter function can be used to restore this printer, using the saved information, at a later time.
