Search MSDN for SetPrinterDevice - there is function you can write in CApp to change app current printer by name. Then default MFC printing routine will use it. Contact me in private, if you will not find it - I will send it to you. Igor Green http://www.grigsoft.com/ Compare It! + Synchronize It! - files and folders comparison never was easier!
