Could you change the report to print on a high-numbered logical print unit
(via the PRINT ON statement)? Usually the higher numbered units are not
otherwise used by the application, so changing the SETPTR for that one won't
affect anything. Of course, if you need to retain some of the information
from the user's printer setting for the report, then you still need to
retrieve them somehow, but at least you wouldn't have to reset the printer
afterward.

Hey there :)  Regarding SETPTR...

I'd like to store a currently logged-in user's printer settings
(GETPTR?), change them for the output of a report(SETPTR), and then
restore them (SETPTR again?).  All of my previous attempts at this
have been unsuccessful -- could somebody point me in the right
direction, please?  I've read the documentation for both and I feel
like I'm missing something.

I'm also not sure if this should be on this list, or the SBS list... ^_^
