I can get the default printer name declared Printers in the uses section:
Printer.Printers[Printer.PrinterIndex]
If by chance, while running the program the user changes the default printer. How do I get this new printer(printer name)?

There is a procedure in the Set of the Printerindex property, when you pass the value -1 it will always return the default windows printer. Ex:
if Printer.Printers.Count > 0 then
begin
Printer.PrinterIndex := -1;
ShowMessage(Printer.Printers[Printer.PrinterIndex]);
end;

I would try to use an event

It would just be run every time
Printer.Printers[Printer.PrinterIndex]that you need, unless a Delphi application saves the printers in some kind of memory cache. But I don’t understand much of the technology.– Guilherme Nascimento
@Guilhermenascimento, does not work, if I call the Printer.Printers[Printer.Printerindex] method will bring up the default printer, now if I change the default printer without closing my application and calling again the Printer.Printers[Printer.Index printers] method will continue to bring the first standard printer, now if you restart the program, and call the method dai updates the default printer.

But you execute in one piece
Printer.Printers[Printer.PrinterIndex]or just takes the variable that received the value of the item of this specific index?– Guilherme Nascimento
@Guilhermenascimento executed whole.
