Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	There's a udf to get the default printer ... search for GetDefaultPrinter() in UDF library. add it to your script and do this : Code: if delprinterconnection(GetDefaultPrinter()) = 0 "Default Printer was deleted" endif _________________________

The plan is something like this...

Code:


    if delprinterconnection(GetDefaultPrinter()) = 0
    "Default Printer was deleted"
endif 
 

if ingroup ("LibraryPrint")
If ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\print01\Library_4250") = 0
? "Added printer connection...."
endif

If ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\print01\18E_Copier") = 0
? "Added printer connection...."
endif
If SetDefaultPrinter ("\\print01\Library_4250") = 0
? "Set default printer to Library_4250...."
endif
endif


if ingroup ("ReceptionPrint")
If ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\print01\Reception") = 0
? "Added printer connection...."
endif

If ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\print01\19E_Copier") = 0
? "Added printer connection...."
endif
If SetDefaultPrinter ("\\print01\Reception") = 0
? "Set default printer to Reception...."
endif
endif
