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...
