Subject: [RBASE-L] - Default Printer
I'm using the
PRNSETUP printername
Command to change the default printer for my RBASE session.
I'd like to be able to capture the windows default printer to a variable so I
can
Use prnsetup to switch default printers on demand.
Is there a way to do capture this name before I use PRNSETUP?
