I know there's an API call through the WSH that will give you the installed printer names but I don't remember if it will tell you which one is currently set as default.

And the command "Set Printer to Name [printername]" should work, although it's been awhile since I last used it.

>The problem in all of this is determining which printer a user printed to. I'd like to just use the PROMPT keyword in a REPORT FORM command and let the user choose any printer they want to. Then I'd like to be able to find out which one they chose and set that as the VFP default printer, but there's no way to do that in VFP and I'm not even sure of an API call to do it. So you have to do something like make them choose the printer first, then print to it, which is a little alien to the normal way that users are used to doing it. Indicate they want to print something, then choose the printer.
