How to Find Name of Currently Chosen Macintosh Printer Driver (32970)
This article was previously published under Q32970
SUMMARY
The following Macintosh QuickBASIC program shows how to find the name
of the current printer driver:
printer$ = ""
WHILE INKEY$ = "
LoadString PEEKW (&HA58),-8192,printer$
IF printer$<>last$ THEN CLS: PRINT printer$; :last$=printer$
WEND
The memory location &HA58 contains the reference number of the
Macintosh System file. The string id -8192 contains the name of the
currently chosen printer driver. However, because these names may be
changed freely with the Chooser in the Apple menu of the Finder, this
may not be very useful.
