I have a need to be able to set various properties for print jobs at runtime from within VFP6.

The most important of these is a paper bin so that I can switch between plain and letterhead paper.

I have found a number of examples of code that I can work with, however they all rely on working with the Windows default printer. My problem is that I can foresee a time when a user has my application open twice or opens another app like Excel.

My issue is that I will set the Windows default printer, start printing, the user will switch to Excel, do something, then print, but change the printer in Excel to something else.

Is there a better way of doing this? For example PRTINFO(7) returns the paper bin selected. What is the correct way to set this?

TIA,
Simon
