Change printer from Foxbase/Foxpro program undex SCO Unix 1

[kosta5]

Some reports are A4 , some A3 format. How to change printer from within Foxpro 2.6 or SCO Foxbase aplication under SCO Unix, with minimum changing code.

I try to make procedure (which is assign on any function key or which is call from menu) like:

procedure whichprinter
*
* section where user will choice which printer he likes
* 
myprinter=<printer name> && var myprinter contains string- printer name

! LPDEST=&myprinter; export LPDEST

return

but it didn't work.

Have any other idea?

we are also using SCO + foxplus combination.

for changing, try set printer to "printername" in your procedure.
