Windows System:

Thanks Ken,  that solved the problem with a bit more programming.  Even though file was selected @pr shows the default printer and @pd would show the printer destination.

I added 
If: mid(@pd,"1","4") ne "WIN:"
Then: pd= "\""{@pd{"\""
If: mid(@pd,"1","4") = "WIN:"
Then: pd= "\""{@pr{"\""

This get the proper destination set.
