Phew! Maybe I do mean that. What's special about the **Windows** printer.

I wouldn't be having a problem if I knew ahead of time what all the names are. In that case I would say:

* Print a report
do Printreport
* Print a receipt on the receipt printer
******lcOldPrinter = defaultprinter()
set printer to name 'Star TSP643 Raster Printer'
do PrintReceipt
* Restore reguler printer
set printer to name 'HP LaserJet 3050 Series PCL 6'

And this would work in my situation.
