sys(6) or otrher means to know what selected printer device is.

Hi;

How can I know what is the current printer Sys(6) often returns either nothing or sometimes it would return a path to the server where the app is installed.

Thx.

To get windows default printer

DECLARE INTEGER GetDefaultPrinter IN winspool.drv STRING @ pszBuffer,INTEGER @ pcchBuffer

Printername = SPACE(255)
PrintBuffer = 255
lResult = GetDefaultPrinter(@PrinterName,@PrintBuffer)

To set window default printer

DECLARE long SetDefaultPrinter IN WINSPOOL.Drv String printername
lResult=setDefaultPrinter(myPrinterName)

Thanks, but im interested in the current print settings in vfp - not the default windows printer.

Try:

Set("Printer",3)
