Luis,

To be honest, I don't know. Anyways the version I've got was freeware as I remember. I'll send it to you by E-mail

The code I use to set the printer is:

	LPARAMETER cPrintername
		DECLARE _fpreset IN msvcrt20.dll
		 
		* This method set the printer where the report is going to be printed on.
		* It also retrieves printertype, location and remarks which can be showed in a print dialog. 
		* For more information about the functions used in this method I refer to the Focus.fll 
		* Documentation

		=_fpreset()
		cToken= PRN_GetPrnData(ALLTRIM(cPrintername),5001)
		=_fpreset()

		.Selectprinter(STR_ntoken(6,cToken), STR_ntoken(3,cToken), STR_ntoken(5,cToken))
		=_fpreset()

The fPreset is used to avoid C00005 Errors due to some HP printer drivers.


Walter,

There are API calls (GetPrinterDriver() or EnumPrinters() ) to do this but I can't handle that in VFP code and I'm not willing to build a DLL just for this (at least not yet!).
