How I can change default printer by using help of application command?

Actually application using multiple printers and default printer required to set when switching printer based on application preference.

In Firefox the "default printer" is the last printer that was used. There is no "application command" that I have ever heard of which controls the selected printer from any sort of "command line switch".

But, there is a hidden preference in the "Configuration Editor" - print.save_print_settings which set to true which controls whether the "last used" is the default or not. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox

You can a "toggle" that pref to false and see how that works for you.
