Hi George

I found a DLL that will do the job. Perhaps you are interested. You can check out Power Printer at www.digitalw.com

>>>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.

As you may be aware, this information is stored in the registry, including an entry with the name Default Devmode, which would lead one to believe that it's the structure we're after. However, after examination of it, it's exactly twice the size that the documentation indicates (296 vs. 148 bytes).
