FMP 10 and FMS 10 running on some Windows/Citrix system: I'd like to set
paper size and page direction without setting a specific printer, the
user's default printer is just fine.

It seems I need the setup printer script step which will always set a
printer.

I surrendered and put codes for the printers into the user table. Tried
to set the printer with scripts (one script per printer). Turned out
that doesn't work - setting the print setup script step does actually
set up the printer for the file and changes all the other print setup
script steps in the file.

Solutions? Recommended plugins?
