Example
:HARDcopy:DPRinter?
The :HARDcopy:DPRinter? query returns the current printer number and
string.
[:HARDcopy:DPRinter?]
{<printer_number>,<printer_string>,DEFAULT}<NL>
Or, if there is no default printer (no printers are installed), only a <NL> is
returned.
This example places the current setting for the hard copy printer in the string
variable, Setting$, then prints the contents of the variable to the computer's
screen.

Programs Must Wait After Changing the Default Printer
It takes several seconds to change the default printer. Any programs that try to set
the default printer must wait (10 seconds is a safe amount of time) for the change to
complete before sending other commands. Otherwise, the oscilloscope will become
unresponsive.
