printer. That's why I use my own dialog.
To display a list of printers for the user to select from:
// populate the combo box
prnComboBox->Items->Assign( Printer()->Printers );
// make the currently selected printer the selected item in the Combo box
prnComboBox->ItemIndex = Printer()->PrinterIndex;
To set the printer to the default printer:
Printer()->PrinterIndex = -1;

display the OS's standard printing dialog, which does have that option.
There is a drop-down menu on that dialog for selecting from the currently
installed printers.

Printer() function) is updated to reflect the printer settings that were
choosen in the dialog. So, to get the name, simply use the
TPrinter::Printers and TPrinter::PrinterIndex properties.

My code like this:
if( PrintDialog1->Execute() )
{
int index=Printer()->PrinterIndex;
MyPostScriptPrinting(printerName);
}
when starting the PrintDialog1, it allow you to set curr printer, the index
chanded each time I make a sel, but I need the printer name in my
application.
