API Calls that will return the valid trays from a printer

[klander2k]

When you issue the command SYS(1037), it will bring up a printer dialog box that will allow you to select a printer, Paper Size, Paper Source, Portriat or Landscape.

What I am asking is:

Is there a way for me to find out what valid Paper Sources there are for the printer that is selected?

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Keith,

I vaguely remember doing this once, using the DeviceCapabilities() API call. Sorry I don't have any more information to hand.

Agree with Mike Lewis that DeviceCapabilities API will give you the Paper formats supported by the selected printer.

Thanks for showing me the DeviceCapabilities API Call.

No that I have it declared, how do I get the values for the fwCapability parameter.
