Subject: RE: Setting Default Printer
Thanks Dave and Jean,
What I need to set is the default system printer as it is not VFP which is
doing the printing but Adobe. Jaime's code does that perfectly. Is there a
definitive reference anywhere to all the API calls in Win32? This one is in
winspool.drv which appears to be part of Win32.

John,
If you are using VFP9 there is a change in the way that the default
printer is allocated from other VFP versions. This can be a real
gotcha as I found out.
There are two default printers in VFP. The default VFP Printer and the
default System Printer. In order to set the default VFP Printer (which
is the ont to print to) with VFP9 you need to use the Sys(1037)
function. In
VFP7 etc you used to be able to use GetPrinter() and then the
set("Printer",3) would echo back the change but in VFP9 that is NOT
the case any more, hence you need to use the Sys(1037) which is
specified as the Page Setup dialog, but you can in fact set up the
printer destination from there.
Most of my users really got annoyed at this when I discovered it as
you need tn extra key click to get into the "Select Printer" dialogue.

Subject: Setting Default Printer
I've been using the code Dave gave me to print PDFs with some success.
I am required to print a PDF to a different printer depending on the
folder the pdf is in. I tried using SET PRINTER TO which, of course,
didn't work as VFP is not doing the printing, Adobe is - so,.
naturally, it printed to the default printer. Obviously I need to
change the default printer depending on the folder. I'm sure there is
an API call which will do it but I can't find it. Any suggestions
gratefully received!
TIA
