int CALLBACK WinMain( HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst,
		LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd )
{
	/* Get the port & device settings for the specified printer */
	char szDeviceString[260];

	/* First (and only) parameter is the printer name */
	lstrcpy( szDeviceString, __argv[1] );
	const int Pos = lstrlen( szDeviceString );

	/* Append a ',' */
	szDeviceString[ Pos ] = ',';

	GetProfileString( "Devices", __argv[1], "",
			&szDeviceString[Pos+1],
			sizeof( szDeviceString ) - (Pos+1) );

	/* Have we got the printer? */
	if ( szDeviceString[Pos+1] != '\0' )
	{
		/* Set the default printer */
		WriteProfileString( "windows", "device", szDeviceString );
