Vladimir,

Maybe this can help. But imo too much work involved: How to change windows printer from foxpro: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;103645

I prefer the solution with WScript.Network (windows scripting host)

There must be somthing (as it used to work) that errors on that change of printer, ignores it and uses the windows default printer

Hope you find what it is

btw: pls do not forget to post your findings as I have something similar going on.

Success,
