How do you change the Printer

[iannuzzelli]

Can someone show me how I can change the printer for the Crystal Viewer using VB code?

I have multiple printers and would like to use any of them to print. For some reason it will not recognize the changes within VB.

In the old days we used:

crReport.SelectPrinter "drivername", "printername", "port"

Not sure if that's the current means, perhaps Ken or some other current VB sort will come along and clarify.

Using .net:

MyReport.PrinterOptions.PrinterName = "MyPrinter"

I assume you want your user to select the printer from inside the viewer when the report is being previewed.

You need to trap the Print Button Clicked event.

Private Sub CRView_PrintButtonClicked _
(UseDefault As Boolean)
UseDefault = True
cReport.PrinterSetup Me.hwnd
End Sub

This requires the Print Button to be enabled inside the viewer. Editor and Publisher of Crystal Clear

I assumed that they did not want a user to interact...

Thanks for the help! Now I need to figure out how to change the viewer to reflect the options I choose in the printer properties. I have some research to do.
