>>Set("Printer",2) gives me the name of the installed standard printer in Windows. What I am looking for in VFP 5.0 is a way to find the name of the active printer. I want to show the user the name of the active printer in my standard 'print out'-dialog. In VB it can be done like this:
>>
>>Dim PrinterNAme as String
>>PrinterName = Application.ActivePrinter
>>
>>Petter Andersen

>Getprinter(), Aprinter(), prtinfo()

Hello, Dubai and thanks for your reply.

By active printer I mean, the printer that is currently/last chosen. If you run sys(1037) you can change the active printer from within VFP. But how can you afterwards find out which printer this is?
