Can anyone tell me how I can change the default printer selection in VFP using Windows API commands? I'm using a 3rd party graphing package (Graphics Server 5.8), and when printing a graph the default printer is always used. I've tried the FoxPro command SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER( ), but this doesn't seem to send the user-selected printer info when outputing with this graphing package.

So I believe the solution is to programatically change the default to a temporary user selection (using GETPRINTER()) and then resetting back when the printing is completed. I just don't know how to do is. Any suggestions with sample code are welcome.

TIA
