From the MSDN (SET() function):

PRINTER ON or OFF
PRINTER, 1 FileName or PortName
PRINTER, 2 Default Windows printer name
PRINTER, 3 Default Visual FoxPro printer name
(specified in the Visual FoxPro Print or Print Setup dialog boxes)

You can use the APRINTERS() function - it stores the printer info into an array. The name is in column 1 and the port is in column 2.

Using this in combination with SET("PRINTER", x) and ASCAN() you should be able to get what you want.
