I use this code in VB.Net. You shouldn't too much problem converting it:
Dim strOldPrinter As String
Dim WshNetwork As Object
Dim pd As New PrintDocument
Try
strOldPrinter = pd.PrinterSetti ngs.PrinterName
WshNetwork = Microsoft.Visua lBasic.CreateOb ject("WScript.N etwork")
WshNetwork.SetD efaultPrinter(s trPrinterName)
pd.PrinterSetti ngs.PrinterName = strPrinterName
If pd.PrinterSetti ngs.IsValid Then
Return True
Else
WshNetwork.SetD efaultPrinter(s trOldPrinter)
Return False
End If
Catch exptd As Exception
WshNetwork.SetD efaultPrinter(s trOldPrinter)
Return False
Finally
WshNetwork = Nothing
pd = Nothing
End Try

How do you set the default printer in C#? I have added a printer and now
want to set that printer to the default. Listed below is my code, but I
am
getting an "Invalid method Parameter(s)" error on the 4th line:
ManagementClass printerClass = new ManagementClass ("Win32_Printer ");
object[] printerName = {"\\\\REGWPROD\ \REGW0951"};
object result = printerClass.In vokeMethod("Add PrinterConnecti on",
printerName);
result = printerClass.In vokeMethod("Set DefaultPrinter" , printerName);
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
Thanks
Andy
