Debra,

I have not followed the whole thread - but try this

- no need to change the default windows printer
- pass the printer name to ShellExecute as a parameter

	declare integer GetDesktopWindow IN win32api

	Declare long ShellExecute in shell32.dll  ;
		    long hwnd, ;
		    string lpszOp, ;
		    string lpszFile, ;
		    string lpszParams, ;
		    string lpszDir, ;
		    long nShowCmd
			    
	local pdfFile, printerName 
	pdfFile = 'd:\tmp\0xx.pdf'
	pdfFile = 'd:\tmp\aaa.pdf'
	
	printerName = 'HP Photosmart C6100 series'
	&& printerName = 'Bullzip PDF Printer'
	
	
	
	?ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(), 'printto', m.pdfFile, '"' + m.printerName + '"', null, 7)
