We have decided to oset the default printer in a macro which we must run

I would like to find a python solution which I could refactor into the
correct place. Again, my wits with Python still have not formed.
Also... I am unable to dedicate to much time to this task for the time
being.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will try and think outside the box using
them as guidance.

I'm not sure why the other PyWin32 guys didn't mention this, but you can
do either of the following:
import win32print
win32print.SetDefaultPrinter('My Printer Name')
import subprocess
subprocess.call(r'rundll32 printui.dll PrintUIEntry /y /n\\UNC\path\to\printer')
I have a couple of other tips here:
http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/02/14/python-windows-and-printers/
and Tim Golden's site has at least one other script based on printers:
http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/cookbook.html#show-print-jobs
(although it has nothing to do with what you're doing).
The other guys had good suggestions too though.
