getenv("PFPRINTER") is one way to find out what is loaded into that<br>
variable.<br>
<br>
However, if it is not set and the default is running, you can get the<br>
current printer from @pr (Current printer name) or @pt (current printer<br>
type)<br>
<br>
My gotcha's:<br>
<br>
Be sure you never name printers the same as tables. Filepro is clever<br>
enough to print to any printer that has a given table assigned. So if<br>
you have a number of printers with a table called "laser" you can direct<br>
output to "laser" and it will turn up on one of those printers in the<br>
queue. A neat trick but annoying if the printer you want is next to you<br>
and it never prints.<br>
<br>
If you change the printer name in processing, also set the printer type.<br>
<br>
I know FilePro will assume but I find it always a better rule to be<br>
clear as to what you want. Saves much troubleshooting.<br>
