I have Emailed for making changes to Michel (mfournier@levelextreme.com)

I Tried the code given by you, but its giving error at line

set printer to NAME lcPrinter

The error is "error accsessing Printer Spooler"
How to overcome it.

>copy file (fullpath(yourfile.ps)) to printer
>set printer to name (lcOldPrinter)
>This code will printer to the default Windows printer. See here how you change this printer: http://www.berezniker.com/content/pages/visual-foxpro/changing-windows-default-printer. In your case you may have to save the current printer (Set('printer',1)) first, so that you can restore it afterwards.
