Selecting a Printer

Selecting a Printer

Postby Dan Landon » Sun May 21, 2006 1:21 pm

I am wanting to set a specific printer in my program for a printer that has pre-printed forms. I want all other printing to go to another printer. I want to set the form printer in a configuration and all form printing will then go to this printer. All other print outs will go to the default printer.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks
Dan

Use TO clause of PRINTER command.

That's not exactly what I had in mind.

I use the FW Report system to generate reports and print outs. What I want to do is change the printer for one print out which is a pre-printed form that will be loaded in a printer dedicated for this purpose and have all the other reports print on the default printer.

I want to do this:
- Use the default printer for all reports but one.
- I want to programmatically set a specific printer for one form print out and then go back to the default printer.
- I don't want to have the operator select a printer each time they do this one particular report.

Using TO clause you can specify the exact printer name to use. This is completely transparent for the user.

Sorry, I can't test it with FW++. It works fine with FWH.
