How can I set the system's default printer?

b
Hi!

I'm writing a server queue program that uses GhostScript in order to
print documents put in the queuem, to PDF (I have to write such a
program in order to manipulate the output file name).

So, Does anyone know how can I set the system's default printer so I'll
print to a PS printer and then change back to the previous printer.

Thanks in advance,
S. Neumann
