Printer - Set Default Printer
Declaration
<AMPRINTER ACTIVITY="set" PRINTER="text" />
Description: Sets the default printer. For convenience, this activity will display the name of the printer that is currently set to default.
Practical Usage
Used to set a specific printer as the default printer usually before printing a document. Be aware that some applications check for the default printer on startup, so changing the default printer while the application is running could have no effect. In this case, you may need to restart the application.
