Hi Michael,

You can do this with the WScript.Network object. Something like this will do the trick:
local loNetwork
loNetwork = create("WScript.Network")
loNetwork.SetDefultPrinter("\\Server\Print1")
MSDN covers the topic in the Windows Script Host Language Reference section.

Cheers,

Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
