I use the following commands to allow the user to choose a printer he wants to send output:

@10,10 SAY "Which printer ... (1-HP, 2-Epson, etc) " GET WhichPrinter
...

DO CASE WhichPrinter
CASE=1
SET PRINTER TO LPT1
CASE=2
SET PRINTER TO LPT2
...
ENDCASE

Of course, the printers have to be named in your network environment.
