Description	Used to change the default printer before printing a document. Be aware that some applications check for the default printer on start up, so simply using this action may not change the default printer for applications that are already running. In this case, you might need to restart the application. To insure 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 <AMRUN>. This is because many applications only check for the default printer on startup - so changing the default Windows printer while the application is running could have no effect.
Declaration	<AMCHANGEPRINTER PRINTER="text">
Example	<AMCHANGEPRINTER PRINTER="Epson Stylus">
General Tab Parameters	Printer: Specifies the name of the printer device that should become the new default printer. The printer must exist on the target system at runtime. Text, Required MARKUP: PRINTER="HP LaserJet 6000"
Notes	Change Default Printer Before Starting Applications To insure reliable operation, this action should be used before the application that will be used to print is started. Because many applications only check for the default printer on startup, changing the default Windows printer while the application is running will have no effect.
