If you are using VFP5 these are the steps to follow. I use it in many apps and it always works irrespective of the current default printer setting!!
The report can be saved with any data in the tag fields for a different printer.

1) Have a listbox woih a list of printers installed taken from the WIN.INI. Yes even VFP uses these entries. The wording must be exact. To see what a printer is called open your settings, Printers and look at the names of the printers installed these are the ones to use.

You could use APRINTERS() to return the list.

2) Issue the command:
SET PRINTER TO NAME "Canon BJC-4200"

substituting the TRIMMED string you get back from the user selection for the name string.

3. REPORT FORM myreport NOCONSOLE TO PRINTER
Note NO PROMPT CLAUSE.

If the name is correct then output will go to this printer irrespective of whether it is the default or not .
