As I said below, GETPRINTER() does this. It displays a picklist of

_all_ windows printer names, including pseudo-printers and network

printers, and returns the one selected.

In one of my apps we put the GETPRINTER() in a configuration screen, so

the user can designate which printer is to be used for invoices,

statements, mailing lables, etc.
