How to get default options in device app for printers

Question

Hello everyone,
In some cases, I need reset some features to default value in device app for printers.
Is there any API can get default Option for the specified feature?

Thanks

Hi MinscBoo,

Default option for specified feature, what kind of specified feature you need? Not sure if I understand your question clearly but take a look at Windows.Graphics.Printing.OptionDetails. should help.

Hi Jamles Hez,
Thank you for your reply.

>what kind of specified feature you need?
I need Print Schema Features like PageMediaSize and DocumentDuplex in the advanced print settings flyout.

Also, Windows.Graphics.Printing.OptionDetails doesn't work because PrintManager.GetForCurrentView() throws an exception in the advanced print settings flyout.

Hi MinscBoo,

Thank you for a clarify and sorry for a late reply. Take a look at the sample http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Print-Sample-c544cce6, in scenario three, you would find the setting part for PageMediaSize

IList<string> displayedOptions = printTask.Options.DisplayedOptions;

                                                      // Choose the printer options to be shown.
                                                      // The order in which the options are appended determines the order in which they appear in the UI
                                                      displayedOptions.Clear();
                                                      displayedOptions.Add(Windows.Graphics.Printing.StandardPrintTaskOptions.Copies);
                                                      displayedOptions.Add(Windows.Graphics.Printing.StandardPrintTaskOptions.Orientation);
                                                      displayedOptions.Add(Windows.Graphics.Printing.StandardPrintTaskOptions.MediaSize);
                                                      displayedOptions.Add(Windows.Graphics.Printing.StandardPrintTaskOptions.Collation);
                                                      displayedOptions.Add(Windows.Graphics.Printing.StandardPrintTaskOptions.Duplex);

                                                      // Preset the default value of the printer option
                                                      printTask.Options.MediaSize = PrintMediaSize.NorthAmericaLegal;

                                                      // Print Task event handler is invoked when the print job is completed.
                                                      printTask.Completed += async (s, args) =>
                                                      {
                                                          // Notify the user when the print operation fails.
                                                          if (args.Completion == PrintTaskCompletion.Failed)
                                                          {
                                                              await Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
                                                              {
                                                                  rootPage.NotifyUser("Failed to print.", NotifyType.ErrorMessage);
                                                              });
                                                          }
                                                      };

                                                      sourceRequestedArgs.SetSource(printDocumentSource);
