example, the following printers are used:
HP LJ4L (called "LaserJet")
Panasonic KX-P1624 (called "Panasonic KX-P1624").
The LaserJet is the default Windows printer.
- Execute the following code and follow the commented instructions:
=SYS(1037) && choose the Panasonic.
=SYS(1037) && choose the LaserJet.
CREATE REPORT Test

- Run the following code from the Command window and note the contents of
the memo fields:

After the name "LaserJet", there are some left over letters from the
Panasonic printer. Please note that if the second printer chosen has a
longer name than the first, this does not seem to happen.
