    Can Winspool.drv be used to permanently set printer properties? Or do you know of any third party libs that I can use?

      You can use WinSpool.drv to do this. The documentation is here[^]. The only requirement is you must have a complete understanding of the Windows Printing subsystem in order to use it.

        I was looking into this as a way to automatically setup the Microsoft Office Document Imaging printer. Like selecting .tif's and the default print folder. I've run into several issues like this where you can just about reach it - but you gotta have a lot of time. Thanks for the link anyway!
