You can use the Windows Script Host's Wscript.Network SetDefaultPrinter method to do this; there's extensive coverage of this in the 5 part article on the Windows Script Host written by George Tasker and myself back in the late summer and fall of 2001, posted on www.vfug.org - see George's sig block for a reference if you can't find it in their back articles. It's also discussed, albeit from a VB/C++ perspect, in a number of the links in my sig block; the VFP code is extremely similar to the VB code, so you shouldn't have any problems. A sample would be:

oWSHNet - CREATEOBJECT('Wscript.Network')
oWSHNet.SetDefaultPrinter('MyWindowsPrinterName')
