Printer question on pwb v2

Hello, I have taken over responsibility for WYSE terminal on my network that are using PWB v2. having no experience with this software I have a question. How do i set the printer to which I want the terminal to print to. I see the existing terminals are set up to print automatically to the nearest printer by default, but I cannot determine where this is configured if I wanted to switch to another printer. the ini file on the server does not specify what printer to print to. and the kiosk does not give the option to pick printers, just the print icon on the toolbar that sends jobs to a certian printer. please any thing you have would be most helpful.

PWB uses the Internet Explorer functionality to print, so whatever printer Internet Explorer prints to for the current user, this is the printer PWB prints to. The PWB print button will print to the default printer.

I am guessing there is either a logon script or a PWB startup script that is running to map the printer. This is how we do it on our terminal servers using the Microsoft "con2prt.exe" utility to map the printer via a batch file.
