Configure default printer for destination

[dGrouse]

In ePortfolio, in CE 9, you can set a report instance to go to a "Default printer", under "Customize your options" > "Print settings". There, you can check the box to "Print a copy of the report in Crystal Reports format when scheduling". Then, you can either choose the default printer, or a named printer. Setting a named printer works fine, but for the "default printer", this supposes that such a default has been configured somewhere in CE. I can't find where or how to do this!! Does anybody know how to configure a default printer, globally, for CE/ePorfolio, similar to setting a default location for unmanaged disk? TIA.

That's the Windows default printer, do so in Control Panel.

It's certainly not "my" local Windows default printer when I'm scheduling a report to run using ePortfolio. I can schedule a report to run two weeks from now on one of the machines in a CE cluster, and, when it runs, I want it to be printed to "the default printer" as a CE destination, similar to how you can setup defaults for ftp, unmanaged disk, and e-mail. _That's_ the "default printer" I'm talking about - nothing to do w/ setting up default (user profile) printers on a Windows client. (But thanks!)

It's the default on the server, CE is server based, I didn't realize that I'd have to explain that.

But you're welcome.
