Can Sesame tell me what is my default printer? (Read 442 times)

	Tried searching for this info, but couldn't find anything, so ... It would be helpful if my programming could ask the system what is the currently designated default printer, so that I could have Sesame alternateDefaultPrinter("PrinterB") for a print function and then revert automatically back to the previous printer-designated-as-the-AlternateDefaultPrinter ... is that possible? (running ver 2.5.3)

	Hello Larry, There is not an Sbasic command to return what alternate printer name is current set by AlternateDefaultPrinter. You can however keep track of his in programming by using ClientLocalValue() and @ClientLocalValue(). Just where ever you set the alternate printer also set a ClientLocalValue to the same name, and when you do RestoreDefaultPrinter() clear that ClientLocalValue as well. -Ray

	Ray, Thank you for the tip. I've never delved into ClientLocalValue before. It'll be an opportunity for growth!
