Set Printer to Machine Name - Problem

[LesPaulStrat]

When I use -

SET PRINTER TO [\\<machine name> \<printer name> = <dest>]

-- it still prints to the printer that is the Default printer. How can I get around this.

I want to table drive printing reports to specific printers, depending on the report
name. I was trying to set the Queue name, but that didn't work at all.

Any help would be much appreciated.

SET PRINTER TO [\\<machine name> \<printer name> = <dest>]
is for Peer-to-peer networks, for Novell networks
use SET PRINTER TO
[\\SPOOLER [\N] [\F=<expN>] [\B=<banner>] [\C=<expN>] [\P=<expN>]]
[\S=<server>]
[\Q=<queue>]
