Hi Beth,
Did you try what Sergey advised you ?
set printer to name (whatever)
and then check that VFP actually recognised it as selected printer ?

I never tried (needed) API/shell solution for this, but would assume that
if you change selected printer outside VFP (via API/Shell) then you should also let VFP know about it.
