printing
i have two printers installed(Win98). the default
printer is an HP812c, the other is a panasonic.
when i go to the printer selection and select the panasonic, it still prints to the HP but uses the panasonic PDF.
What is wrong? the panasonic is on lpt2, the HP just says "Local" when i bring up the printer selection screen.why does it say "Local" when it is connected to Lpt1?
i want to write a label program for this printer but if i am not able to select it then i have a problem.

'the printer object has a Port property you have to set
'here is an example from MSDN on How to select printer on LPT2:
Dim P as Object
for Each P In Printers
If P.Port = "LPT2:" Or P.DeviceName Like "*LaserJet*" then
set Printer = P
Exit for
End If
next P

try testing with:
if Lcase(p.port) = "lpt2:" then
and put a breakpoint to see if you enter the following statements
