set printer to should work; however, REPORT FORM MyReport TO PRINT PROMPT works better--the user can pick the printer. If you want it to be a specific printer, try this:

(Where SPECIFICNAME is the name of the printer to which you want to print)

mPrtr =ASCAN(aPrintall, [SPECIFICNAME])

* at this point, if mPrtr is 0, you would warn the user that the printer doesn't exist

mPrintName =aPrintall(mPrtr)
SET PRINTER TO NAME (mPrintName)

>VFP5a SET PRINTER TO doesn't work? Or is there a trick somewhere? The print driver always ended up to a particular driver despite issueing the command.
