This works for me:
set PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER()
? SET("PRINTER", 3) && Get the current default printer
lcdefault = SET("PRINTER", 3) && Get the current default printer
oNet.SetDefaultPrinter(lcDefault)
I guess I would verify the name of the printer in windows exactly.



>The following code gives me a "No such printer called -default printer-" (where "default printer" is the name of my default printer) error when I try to reset the printer back to the default. Anybody have any idea why?
