thanks a lot, I'll have a look at this. I *knew* someone must have had
that prob before, but all my googlin' didn't take me there ...

However, I'm pretty sure that changing the default printer requires
certain permissions on the system; some of my users obviously lack
these permissions, so I hopefully won't need that workaround.

Yeah, that would be an option if everything else should fail.
Thanks again,
