If you want the user to select a printer, why not just print with OPTION SCREEN and let the user select the printer the windows way?

If I wanted them to choose a printer I know I can use (CVAL('PRINTERS')) to bring up the printers available. How do I get their choice into a variable for the printer chosen?

Have you tried placing quotes around the printer name or storing the printer name as a variable and using the variable instead of the printer name?
