Gary,

While you can use modify the Win.ini file to change the default printer in Win9x, I'm not certain that it'll work under later versions. Therefore, I'd recommend the Windows Script Host's Network Object, like so

oNet = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Network")
oNet.SetDefaultPrinter(< printer name >)

and, yes, it works with local printers.
