I don't do things the hard way. I have the user select the printer ONCE
and store the value in the database until the user decides to use a
different printer for all the default printer functions. Then in the
report generation I put all the PRNSETUP commands that control the
printer. When the printer is changed, there is no code change involved.
If the user wants to use a different printer, he/she can select it.
Please note that I embed the PRNSETUP coding in the report. I don't use
external code. Change printers: no problem.

Karen,
I understand I can go to the printer setup and after choosing how I want the
printer to work, the CVAL functions can give me the information.
However within code, how does that help me?
Will the user have to go in and choose these settings when they run the report
then my code grabs their choices into variables?
Then I make the code use the variables as below?
PRNSETUP
(they choose their settings)
Set var vtray TEXT = (CVAL('PRN_Source'))
Set var vprinter TEXT = (CVAL('currentprinter'))
Set var vcol TEXT = (CVAL('PRN_Collation'))
OPTION PRINTER +
|TRAY .vtray +
|COLLATION .vcol +
|COPIES 1 +
|PRINTER_NAME .vprinter
Sorry if this is so easy to you folks but I tried following the HELP guide, not
the Functions.
