Change Printer

Changes the default printer. Be aware that some applications check for the default printer on start up, so using this action may not change the default printer for applications that are already running. In this case you may need to restart the application. To ensure reliable operation this action should be used before the application that will be used to print is started. To do this use the Run action.
