Changing default printer

[Guest]

How can I change by program the default printer in VB.net if I have two
printers connected in one computer?
I want to print diferents reports in diferents printers connected in one
computer and I want to change the default printer depending of the report.

Please help us.

I'm not sure if this helps:

Add a pagesetup dialog to your form

Private Sub MenuItem18_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem18.Click
'page setup
PageSetupDialog1.Document = PrintDocument2
PageSetupDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.Color = False
PageSetupDialog1.Document.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = True
PageSetupDialog1.ShowNetwork = True
PageSetupDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Acrobat PDFWriter"
PageSetupDialog1.ShowDialog()
End Sub

Mr MVP,

Why did you point the user to that page when the bottom Microsoft article is
in VB 6 & you aren't prepared to convert it to VB.NET?

On last question: Will you put my name forward for the MVP program, as I
have been programming for 25 years in Assembly, C, C++, a little HTML/ASP, VB
3 - VB.NET & a little C#? 99.9% (18 hours a day approx.) of my time spent
coding in VB.NET.

Even MVP's days only have 24 hours.

For being awarded as an MVP, it does not matter how many hours a day one
spends using a certain product or how many "languages" one speaks.

How do I become an MVP?

I have read those articles & have also e-mailed the webmaster some time ago.
See below:

I spend around 18 hours a day either programming or programming/answering
questions in the forums & have done since 1997. So, I think I am in it for
the long haul, don't you?

Crouchie,

I spend around 18 hours a day either programming or programming/answering
questions in the forums & have done since 1997. So, I think I am in it for
the long haul, don't you?

I am not able to decide who is awarded and who not. From my own experience,
I can only tell you that it took more than a half year of very active
participation in Microsoft public newsgroups until I was awarded.
Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that somebody is awarded at all, and
when he/she is awarded. MVP ist nothing for people who "want to be MVP",
it's a side-effect of regular and voluntary participation and willingness to
help/share.

So, if you want to become an MVP, post to the groups or other communities
monitored by Microsoft so that Microsoft Support Engineers etc. will become
aware of you.
