You can change printer in VFP with SET PRINTER command.
SET PRINTER TO NAME < printer name >
? SET("PRINTER,3")    && Display curent VFP printer 
You can change default windows printer using WSH
lcSaveWinDefPrinter = SET("PRINTER", 2)
loNet = CREATEOBJECT("WScript.Network")
loNet.SetDefaultPrinter(< printer name >)
...
loNet.SetDefaultPrinter(lcSaveWinDefPrinter)
