jrmm Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hello, We have used the code below at work to set default printers and it seems to work great. Our boss is asking if this writes to the registry. Outside of using a process monitor to watch the registry I can't think of any way to determine for sure. I'm guessing that it does indirectly. Is anyone familiar with this function or have suggestions on where I should start? Thanks for any help, John Func _WinAPI_SetDefaultPrinter($sPrinter) Local $aResult = DllCall("winspool.drv", "bool", "SetDefaultPrinterW", "wstr", $sPrinter) If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, False) Return $aResult[0] EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
