I have a Windows XP machine that runs two applications and both print on a thermal printer connected by a serial port.

For one application, the "Generic / Text Only" printer must be present, for the other to work I need to remove it.

I've found a few .vbs scripts, but they are for network printer. How do I make them work with my local printer? Is there a better solution? The user would have to run the script every time he needs to switch from an application to another.
