AREV Specific

Does anyone know how to programmatically determine which printer number is currently active in AREV 3.12? I used to be able to tell by locating the value found in field 28 of the config record (active printer name) in field 29 of the config record (defined printers), but my customer now has 2 laserjet printers in different locations which causes grief for my locate as printers 2 & 3 both use the same definition name. I know I can probably clone the printer definition record in the environment and give one of the laserjets a slightly different name, but I am looking for a more elegant solution, if possible. When I run SETPRINTER from TCL, the correct printer is highlighted, so I know that somewhere behind the scenes, AREV knows the difference.

Thanks,

Gray Cunningham
