If “View by: Large icons” or “View by: Small icons”, Select Devices and Printers.

In Control Panel near the top right if “View by: Category”, Select View devices and printers.

Right-Click the Start Menu select Control Panel.

The best option may be displaying an information Messagebox at times you change the printer, letting the user decide whether he wants that feature on or off. When users begin to know and like the feature, it will again become a bad choice, to override it unasked. You face criticism of users of your app, as this Windows feature is not well known, though it's not your code changing the default printer, it looks that way. Now the question is, how to turn this Windows 10 feature off programmatically. So, this time it IS windows related, you still should now adjust SET PRINTER TO, Aleniko, because SET PRINTER TO is not the same as SET PRINTER TO DEFAULT.

But this setting is not affecting the standard printer just because you do SET PRINTER in Foxpro, it only effects the standard printer, when you really print something on the printer you SET PRINTER TO NAME xyz.

Let me see, if that's the same in previous Windows versions.

The only thing I see, is that SET PRINTER TO without the DEFAULT keyword does not set VFP back to the default, but the default printer nevertheless didn't change and SET PRINTER TO DEFAULT sets it to the Foxit (See the screen output of the SET("PRINTER",n)Ĭalls). Check your code behaviour under Windows 7 or 8 and see, if it's really Windows 10. I see a lot of people jumping to conclusions about things not working in windows 10 anymore. This is what I see under Windows 10 with VFP9 SP2:Īll the time, the default printer stayed the Foxit printer. Neither that, not SET PRINTER TO NAME change the Windows default printer, never did and also don't do on Windows 10, your Code must do something more, set a breakpoint and step through code.ģ. SET PRINTER TO something sets a FILENAME to print to, not a printerĢ.
