CPrintDialog::GetDeviceName
Visual Studio 2005
Retrieves the name of the currently selected printer device.
CString GetDeviceName( ) const;
Call this function after calling DoModal to retrieve the name of the currently selected printer, or after calling GetDefaults to retrieve the current device defaults of the default printer. Use a pointer to the CString object returned by GetDeviceName as the value of lpszDeviceName in a call to CDC::CreateDC.
This code fragment shows the user's default printer name and the port it is connected to, along with the spooler name the printer uses. The code might show a message box that says, "Your default printer is HP LaserJet IIIP on \\server\share using winspool.", for example.
CPrintDialog dlg(FALSE);
if (!dlg.GetDefaults())
AfxMessageBox(_T("You have no default printer!"));
else
{
CString strDescription;
strDescription.Format(_T("Your default printer is %s on %s using %s."),
(LPCTSTR) dlg.GetDeviceName(),
(LPCTSTR) dlg.GetPortName(),
(LPCTSTR) dlg.GetDriverName());
AfxMessageBox(strDescription);
}
