The active printer is an OS setting, not a word setting. So, what you need
to do is use the Printer Setup Utility's dictionary and set the current
printer to printer "printername" or do shell script with lpadmin
Setting up printers requires you to use shell, (an area where OS 9 is still
beating OS X), and if you want to set up network settings, I recommend
learning Cocoa, or just using ARD.
