Frank,
Funny, I tried using prnsetup to set the default printer but when the print
dialog came up it still defaulted to the windows default.
Here's the code I used:
SET VAR vDefPrint = (CVAL('WindowsPrinter'))
PRNSETUP 'RightFax Fax Printer'
PRINT Invoice &vPrintCmd OPTION SCREEN|WINDOW_STATE MAXIMIZED
PRNSETUP .vDefPrint

Dennis,
You can get a List of the printers with the following command: SET VAR vPrinter
= (CVAL('PRINTERS')). From this you can verify that the printer you want to
use is in the list. If it is, then you can issue the Print Command with the
following option of Printer_Name HPLASER.. Such as Below.
Print reportname option Printer | Printer_name HPLASER
Plus there are a hundred other options you can select for that printer, such as
tray to use, paper name, etc. Check out the Print Command and all of the
options should be there that you need to control the printing of your report.
There is also the prnsetup command that will change the default printer for the
R:Base session you are in. But it will return to the default windows printer
when you exit R:Base and come back in. I also have a batch file that I created
that will actually change the default windows printer external to R:Base, which
I can send you if you are interested.

I thought I had my problem solved but I'm going to have to ask.
I can print to the screen maximized to give the user a preview.
Is there a way I can control, in code, which printer is defaulted when I click
the print icon?
