How do I setup a default printer

Post by ECBolton »

We are using PWB v2.09. We use PWB.exe in place of the explorer.exe interface. I have 3 printers installed. They are named 1, 2, 5, 6. Currently printer 1 is set as default. However when I print from PWB printer 6 is always selected first and you have to choose printer 1. If I print from Internet Explorer then printer 1 shows up correctly as first printer.

Any suggestions?

Open PWB, click on File Print. In the Print dialog, right click on the printer you want to set as default and choose Set as Default.

To reset the default printer when PWB starts, you can use CON2PRT in batch file for the PWB startup script to set the default printer. The CON2PRT utility is available free in the MS ZAK kit.
