non-default printer

[Guest]

I run a foxpro windows application that calls a windows printer selection
dialogue box when printing. It is a 32 bit app that runs under all varieties
of windows except of course Vista 64. When sending a print job, the user
selects the printer from a drop-down. The only problem - the print job goes
only to the default printer no matter which printer is being picked. What
kind of help can I give the programmer to point them in the right direction
as to how to pass the print job properly?

The OS will load a process called splwow64.exe for the 32bit application
when it attempts to print. Here is some more information on the process.
