Setting the default system printer in VB.Net

Len
While I have no problems selecting different printers to
print from my VB.Net app I can't find a way to set the
user's system default printer. Unfortunately that's the
only way I can get the legacy app that I call to print
properly.

If anybody has suggestions or code sniplets, please
respond.

Thanks,
Len
