    setting printer for just the session

    My objective is to allow a user to select the printer they want to use during their VB application session. I was was using commondialog1 showprinter to display the print dialog box but found that the what they selected changed the new printer as the default printer, something I did not want to have happen. I did then try to set the printerdefault to false so that default change would not happen. However once I did that, any change I made in the printer selection window did not set the printer for the session.
    Am I using the right components here? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Maybe record the default printer before hand, let them select the printer, and at the end of the session restore the previous default?

    I'm sure there is a better way, it's just I don't know it and no else has posted...

    Good luck anyway!
