INTRODUCTION: Some customers may not want to be prompted
for the printer information when sending a report to the
printer via the Report Engine, and want to send the report
directly to the default printer.

The following can be done to print directly to the default
printer by over-riding printer information saved in the
report, and without prompting for printer information.

STEP BY STEP DETAILS:

Prior to the call to the _printrb,
1. Define a variable of Character datatype.
2. Make that variable = session:printer-name.

Then pass that variable to the RB-PRINTER-NAME parameter
in your call to the Report Engine.
