Default Printer

Instead of having to select which printer to output to each time I want to run a print job ?
Ideally being able to set up multiple printers in different ports and network printers as well would be great!

Try the defaultprinter() command.

Yep I do that. I need to explain myself better.
I want to be able to print to the default printer (which we CAN do...) and to be able to set a diferent printer to print to.
I am rewriting an old POS software of mine, and I wanted to add that feature. The ability to print to a network printer (a kitchen printer.) It would be a BIG plus!
Is there a way to set multiple print addresses in PB? I think there should be.

hah! I see what you mean! Nope that was not an expression... In this instance POS stands for Point Of Sale. Food Service Software for a restaurant. I have one for a store as well that I have been plodding along with.
My fault is I wrote the thing in VB 5 a while ago and used Access reports and that has caused no end of headache...
I have been learning baout PB printer output etc. It is a far cry form what I played with in Blitz but I think I can do it!
