If I change the printer using the PrinterIndex property of Printer,<br />
and then call PrintDialog.Execute (assuming PrintDialog is of type<br />
TPrintDialog) it will show the settings for the default printer.<br />
<br />
If I change the printer selected via the print dialog and then click<br />
OK, and change the printer again via PrinterIndex, and finally show<br />
the print dialog again, it shows the previously selected printed as<br />
when the dialog was last open.<br />
<br />
what gives? how can I make this work without having to resort to using<br />
the Window API?<br />

thanks in advance,<br />
