OK, I had forgotten some details about how my class works, so I had to look at the source code again.

I notice that my class sets the printer as follows.

In program main.prg, there is the line:

gcCurrentPrinter = set("printer",2)	&& default = windows default printer

And in file MyFunctions.prg (actual printing is done by function PrintTextFile()), there is the line:

set printer to name (gcCurrentPrinter)

(There is also another line that will reset the printer to the default.)

So, of course, this will override any SET PRINTER you specify before running the class.

The solution I recommend is to assign another value to the variable, gcCurrentPrinter.

Another alternative is to comment (disable) the two SET PRINTER commands in MyFunctions.prg.

Great, I am happy that some use it.

Note that it also provides a wrapper for Excel output.
