Hey all,

I've been looking into a way to easily change where customer receipts print for our online orders, depending on if our host stand is staffed or not.

What I've done = setup a .bat and linked it to a button on our manager screen. It runs an SQL command that toggles the printers for the API UWS.

Where I'm stuck = I want managers to be able to tell where they are currently going after they press that button. A display window that shows either
1.) the API workstation printers, in a readable manner OR
2.) I can output the results of the SQL command to a text file, and have a CMD window display where things are printing.

Are any of these methods possible? Or am I trying to reinvent the wheel here? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
