Setting system default printer in c#

I am trying to set the default system printer and have got as far as listing
the installed printers using PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters. Anyone know
how change the default printer? It needs to change the system printer, not
just the printer for this application. I assume I must tap into winspool.dll
some how.
