What doesn't look right, exactly?  I took the above as a template, not
as a literal string that is the printer's name.  If it's a literal
string, then it is indeed strange, but default-printer-name simply
calls GetProfileString and GetPrinter APIs, so whatever those return,
it's the system's notion of the printer.  Unless there's a bug in
default-printer-name, in which case please step through it and tell
what goes wrong there.
