PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT only works on Windows 95/98. win32print.OpenPrinter(win32print.GetDefaultPrinter()) should get a handle that you can pass to GetPrinter.

Roger, thanks for the hint. I saw that GetPrinter() needs a handle, which I can find out -as I suppose- using EnumPrinters().
Unfortunately, EnumPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT) seems to not work. It always raises:
pywintypes.error: (0, 'EnumPrinters', 'No error message is available')
even if the default printer is defined and ready.
I'd guess that EnumPrinters() does not forward PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT correctly, because for example EnumPrinters(PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL) works well.
Tja...
