- We do something this exact thing, and we use easyPrint ($29.95) from
- S/FO (EMail:SFO@applelink.apple.com) which is an Apple event aware printer
- switching application (and also does cool Desktop Printers). You just configure
- an "easyPrinter" for the specific printer you want, and thn have your FMPro
- script send it events.

- [Disclaimer:I wrote easyPrint (formerlly DTPrinter) and do have a fiscal
- interest in it's sales]
