FOrget the TAG2 business. I have a solution.
You don't mention which ver you need this for.

For FPW 2.6:-
You need to change the printer on the fly. The printer data is stored in win.ini. I have a routine that sets this up. It uses foxtools to call a few WIN API's. THis is the only way in FPW 2.6 to change printers on the fly.If you need this I can email you the file which you can then adapt for your own use FREE OF CHARGE.

For VFP5:-

Check out the following functions.VFP5 gets print data ALSO from the WIN.INI. Use APRINTERS() to get the printer names and use SET PRINTER TO NAME "Name of your printer as returned from APRINTER()"

That's it. While youre at it check the "SEE ALSO" for "PRINTERS" in the VFP Help.
