How to get the default printer ?

[Xsmael]

Hi, from the docs I see we can get a list of available printers with win.getPrinters(callback) however there is no way to know which one has been set as the default printer (maybe by the OS). I feel its possible because other softwares are able to detect and automatically select the default printer which is exactly what i'm trying to do. I didn't see any other function that could help in this. So how do we do that ?
