I'll deny this if anyone asks, but we made a class for SetPrinter(cPrinterName), and trapped the error with the
class.Error method, and put in limited retries (up to 25 in our case). You'll notice that usually after 4-5 attempts, the
Set Printer will work. If after 25 attempts (so far never reached,) then the command set printer to GETPRINTER() is
executed, and the user picks the printer and proceeds with the report..
