Re: Default Printer per template using scripts

Hi, I have three printers on my system, each with a different paper size and type.

I want to define a default printer for every report template in my app settings. How can I do that using scripts? I have already created a setting system using ini read and write, and I want to define the printer for each template in that ini file.

Many Thanks

In theory, the printer selection should look like this:

Form1.frxReport.PrintOptions.Printer := 'PrinterName';
Form1.frxReport.PrintOptions.Copies := 1;
Form1.frxReport.PrepareReport;
Form1.frxReport.Print;

Hi,

You can also select a printer in the settings for each of your reports.
Here you can also specify other options for printing.

Unfortunately, this code will not work, since the TfrxReport.Print method is not supported in MVDB. And this is very sad. If anyone knows how to programmatically send a report to print, bypassing the preview window, please let me know.
