this code snippet might help you:
you need to add System.Drawing DLL if its not present in your project references...

//CODE:
using System.Drawing.Printing;

public string GetDefaultPrinterName()
{
foreach (string name in PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters)
{
var ps = new PrinterSettings {PrinterName = name};
if (ps.IsDefaultPrinter)
return name;
}
return "No Defaut Printer Set";
}

Well, I don't think you can capture that, as the control move out from C# or .net framework to windows OS?

if you're able to solve it please let me know also.
