Change the default printer

Hi there,

I am using Notes 6 on Win 2000 and I searched in this forum for a solution about how to change the default printer as I have to convert a notes document to pdf (using pdfwriter).

I found plenty of solutions (most of them using win API sendmessage) and I tried every single of them with no luck, Notes6 does not recognize the default printer once it is changed. If I change the default printer manually it works ok, but I need to do it in the background.

I am stuck, any ideas?

Just FYI,

This piece of code solved the problem.

This one does not work in Notes 6.5, anybody had a solution for notes 6.5.xx

Hello Rufino,

the solution Luciano linked to worked for me under

-R 5.0.10 / Win2000

-R 6.0.3 / Win2000

-R 6.5.1 / WinXP

-R 6.5.2 / WinXP

-R 6.5.3 / WinXP

(German versions)

I tried the variation with a dialogbox instead of msgbox. Maybe you forgot this dialogbox/ msgbox? It won’t work without any of both!

Solution was: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/46dom.nsf/55c38d716d632d9b8525689b005ba1c0/b3450128589c85ef85256c0e001d56e6?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,default,printer
