I should have added that I don't wanna be annoyed by the screen displayed by the GetPrinter() function everytime I print an OR. Why? coz printing several ORs everyday with the prompt to choose which printer to use (per OR) will tire my user.

>>Hi,
>>I have two printers, "Printer Local" and "Printer Network". the default printer is the "Printer Local". I don't want to set the "Printer Network" as the default printer everytime I'm using my program that prints an invoice.
>>Here's the scenario, I use the "Printer Local" to print MS Word documents, so its the default printer.
>>I use the "Printer Network" to print invoices/OR. So what I want is to redirect the printer input to "Printer Network" without setting it as the default printer.
>>Here is my sample code:
>>SET TALK OFF
>>SET SAFETY OFF
>>SET CONSOLE OFF
>>tempfile = SYS(2015) + ".txt"
>>SET DEVICE TO FILE &tempfile
>>@PROW(), 1 SAY "sample text for my network printer"
>>
>>* these next two lines were the original code to print
>>* to the default printer "Printer Local"
>>* you can replace these with the appropriate code :)
>>SET DEVICE TO PRINTER
>>TYPE &tempfile TO PRINTER
>>
>>Thanks!
>>
>>Erik
