Re: setting the default printer

Thanks Serg.

I should have mentioned that I'd tried lpoptions. It only works with local printers (it also works for network printers on a local network, but not for shared printers) and I need something that will allow me to change the default between local and shared printers. Applescript is okay, too.

Thanks!

Hi,

AFAIK for OS >= 10.2 to set the default printer the lpoptions command can be
run with option -d and printer.
You can make system call to lpoptions -d printer from your Carbon /Cocoa
app.

Serg

How do I set the default printer using Carbon or Cocoa, but preferably
Carbon.

Thanks,
