When using Crystal reports, I found that more than this was necessary, at
least on NT type machines. I had to first find the current printer, store
that name in a string, set the NEW printer to the default printer, print,
then restore the default printer.
I used some code from VBnet to accomplish this. If anyone needs it I can
post it, but it's over 100 lines so I won't do it unless asked.
