Tony Tony Getting the hang of it Registered: 2001-11-04 Posts: 55 Loc: LA	Guys, I am not sure if this is what it supposed to do, but everytime I have my default printer set, the first line of addprinter connection is the one that determines the default printer. For example: AddPrinterConnection("\\lnx1\hp4000") AddPrinterConnection("\\lnx1\Brother_8860") SetDefaultPrinter("\\lnx1\Brother_8860") The hp4000 would be the default. Seems like it is the first line. Is this what it supposed to do? TIA, tt

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	There is a slight difference between AddPrinterConnection and SetdefaultPrinter. The first takes the printer share (like \\server\printer) and the second takes the printer name (like HP4000 on server1). Also if AddPrinterConnection fails SetDefualprinter for the same printer will also fail if the printer is not still mapped from a previous session. I always keep the printer name and share name the same so the example below works fine. Are the printer name and the printer share the same in your setup? Code: If InGroup("Printer1") $rc = AddPrinterConnection ("\\server1\printer1") $rc = SetDefaultPrinter ("\\server1\printer1") EndIf _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4567 Loc: USA	I just added this, as another workaround. SetAsDefaultPrinter() - http://www.kixtart.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=187517#Post187517 This UDF allows you to use the Sharename (or Printername) to define the default.
