As I said below, GETPRINTER() does this. It displays a picklist of _all_ windows printer names, including pseudo-printers and network printers, and returns the one selected. In one of my apps we put the GETPRINTER() in a configuration screen, so the user can designate which printer is to be used for invoices, statements, mailing lables, etc. Dan Covill > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dan Covill"<[email protected]> > To: "ProFox Email List"<[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 7:46 PM > Subject: Re: VFP9 SP2 printer api call question > > Easy enough to select a printer in VFP. mPrinterName = GETPRINTER(). > To find out what the current printer is, > mPrinterName = set("Printer",2) default Windows printer > mPrinterName = set("Printer",3) default VFP printer (same?) > > I don't use API calls, but you should be able to feed in the Printer > name ok. > > Dan Covill > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
