I think it's vital to follow any change to the Windows default printer
during the emacs session, it would be quite annoying otherwise. If you
think fetching the default printer device name all the way, at every use
of the printer, gets you too much overhead (I don't think that's a
problem at all, but...), one could cache the value, and only refresh it
when you actually change the default printer, by catching the
WM_SETTINGCHANGE window message, like it's done in my original draft patch.
