Another link to change printer :

Type 'printer' and see the three "Printer Change".

This site would be the first I'd look at.

Since my post yesterday I have done a bit of rummaging in the Windows
Registry (I'm no help for Mac users I'm afraid). The following only
applies to the machine on which Filemaker is running, but it will
include Network printers attached to the machine and is just a
suggestion.

The Filemaker default printer is kept at the key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FileMaker\FileMake r Pro\7.0\Preferences"
under the Value
"Printer"
which is a string value
"REG_SZ"
on my machine this is currently set to
"Colour Headers,winspool,Ne02:"
which is my name for the printer "Colour Headers" with info on the
driver.

Please ignore my comments about scripting changes in the Registration
database. Although the scripting makes the changes; how and when FMP7
picks them up I have been unable to reliably ascertain. The method
described is an unreliable method of changing the default printer and
cannot be recommended.
