>>Changing the Windows default printer got much easier with the release of WSH 2.0; the Wscript.Network object now has a SetDefaultPrinter method which can take the returned printer name or device name string from the VFP GETPRINTER() as a valid argument. VFP is quite happy with the reassignment done through the SetDefaultPrinter method, and it sticks!

>And if you already have a valid printer name you can use the SetDefaultPrinter method as well, correct. I'm not familiar with WSH 2.0. How do I set it up to use the SetDefaultPrinter?

oWshNet = CREATEOBJ('Wscript.Network')
oWshNet.SetDefaultPrinter(Windows printer name or device name)

You need Windows Script Host at version 2.0 to use this - it is not a part of WSH 1.0
