Accessing "Print Setup" from a program

Is it possible to set or alter the "Print Setup" entries from within a program? I don't see any documentation on how to do this, so perhaps it isn't. Specifically, we want a batch program to print a spool object to a PDF file. This program will be run by many different people, and so I'd like the program to select our PDF printer automatically and to specify a run-specific name of the PDF file.

You can turn on/off printer redirection via the 'output' command. For example:
Code: Select all
output(s) myspool 'have all prints commands print to 'myspool'
print mytable 'adds a copy of the object mytable to myspool
output off 'turn off print redirection and print to the printer
print mytable 'sends mytable to the currently set printerBut there currently isn't a command to set which printer you wish to print to.
