Hi Simon,

Yeah, there's an API function to do it (SetPrinter() with a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure), but I'd say it'd be easier to write a DLL to do it rather than trying in VFP. The problem is that the structure contains a pointer to a DEVMODE structure, as well as several strings. Given VFP's memory management, it might not be possible to do it in pure VFP code.
