Works great. I've tested on a network with 4 printers, works like a charm.

One small suggestion: change

    fn CurrentPrintername$

To

    fn CurrentPrinterMakeModel$


Q: if one switches to a new printer under fb control, I assume that the
printer would output according to it's default settings? (portrait, letter
size?)
