There are a few ways to do this, one is a two lines of code (assuming that Windows Scripting v5.6 is installed):
The above works also on local printers
Also look at faq184-2444. Mike Gagnon

it depends: if you are printing from a report you may consider this:
modi repo yourreport.frx
- rightclick on the header
- choose Print
- choose your printer
- click print
this will fill the yourreport.frx Memo's with the printerdetails you want
success!

Ramani,
I believe Binhpham wants to set the Windows Default printer to a new value within a VFP app, rather than your set VFP's printer to the Window's Default printer which is of course what your code would do. Mike's code would indeed do the first. (I may be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time!)

Yes. I am aware of that. The question is ambiguous.

The first looks quite simple.. the second looks to me that there is no big need that VFP should change the windows printer options, while technicaly that is possible.
SO i just added in case he is looking for the first option while others pointed the second option.
