HI Guys

I am trying to use the printSetPrinter function.

 

I am able to run the code below that I got online. My issue is that the printSetPrinter  does not seem to

update the registry. Is there perhaps some sort of security setting that might be preventing that from Happening?

 

Thank You

Tom

Hi Tom;

   That command only updates your PB Application's "session" default printer and not the default printer recorded in the O/S. You would have to use your own RegistrySet() commands from your PB App to affect the O/S's printer default settings.
