Hi Gregorio,

I understood the problem. I'll try to reproduce.
My second suggestion was to get the windows default printer and you would probably have to set printer to this name. Doesn't sound like a good solution.

I would expect VFP to always recognize default printer correctly.

Let me try some test.

UPDATE. I created a form with command button:
=messagebox(set("Printer",2))

When I change my printer from Fax & Printers dialog in Control Panel, this messagebox shows information correctly.

What is your VFP default printer?
PRINTER, 1
FileName or PortName

PRINTER, 2
Default Windows printer name

PRINTER, 3
Default Visual FoxPro printer name(specified in the Visual FoxPro Print or Print Setup dialog boxes)

I changed manually the default printer using windows while my application is running. When I switch to the appllication and go to print a report and invoke the printer setup from visual foxpro it show my original printer as my default instead of the one that I just changed.
