To the best of my knowledge

SET PRINTER NAME .... changes the default setting of the Windows printer, as returned by SET("PRINTER",2).

In 6.0 it seems that what's returned by SET("PRINTER",2) remains unaltered, but that SET("PRINTER",3) until now unknown to me is changed, and that the output is directed to that printer, the so called VFP default printer, as opposed to the Windows default printer.

Does that mean that we cannot change the Windows default printer anymore from VFP, without more chirurgical API interventions?

Or is this the result of my trouble senses again?

TIA.
