Remembering the printer

I am using Printdialog. If the user changes the printer, it is not
"remembered" next time that he prints. Do I have to do this
programtically or is there a setting that keeps that printer for this
"program" but does not change the default?

Thanks

Save it somewhere else, since apps should run without admin privileges. You
can use either the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive) or the file system (the
folder for personal settings C:\Documents and settings\<user>\blah, blah,
there is an API to get that location)...
