Identifier: printer

Type

string

Description

The name of the print device.

Notes

This identifier provides the name of the current default printer for Fire. It may be redefined.

At session start, this will be the same as the Operating System default printer. Any change to the printer within interactive print dialogs will change this value, but any re-definition of the default printer outside of Fire, e.g. by the Windows Start/Settings/Printers dialog will be unrecognised by Fire. To enable Fire to pick up the current Operating System default printer, the following command should be used:

printer = 'default'

A list of available printers can be found in the system string array printers.
