This utility allows you to change the user's default printer from a script (ie: Logon Script).

The new printer name must be supplied as the only command-line parameter. If successful, this tool prints out the old default printer's name to the STDOUT (to the screen), which, if captured, can be used later to restore it back to the original setting, if necessary.

Printer name, normally, would be in the form of: "\\SERVER_NAME\PRINTER_NAME" or just "PRINTER_NAME" for a local printer.

It complains if there is no such printer defined on the current machine for the current user.
It will NOT work with 95/98/ME - there are some other freeware tools you can find on The Internet that work under 95+.

Usage:

SetDefaultPrinter.EXE <PRINTER_NAME>
NOTE: Parameters that contain spaces must be enclosed in ""
