Is there a way to automate this process, ie have fp do this F6 function
automatically.

When using terminal server, one does not know the name of that terminal
server will apply to the phantom printer to which ones local printer will be
attached.  It would make this simple if once could run this as a process
when someone logs in and this would be the default printer for the session.
