Is there any way to print to a printer in VB6 using all the capabilities of the printer drivers.
Most printers have a vast array of options, eg double sided, booklet form or even things like stapled if you can print to the office photocopier.
Proprietry programs like Word, Excel etc automatically pick up these features when you print, using the properties button in the printer dialog.
I can use the common dialog supplied with VB6 or the replacement from MDSN or call it via API calls but I can never get my program to print according to all the preferences set, when using standard Printer.Print commands etc.
I would prefer not to change the default printer as this can have unwanted side effects on other programs if my application is still running.
Is there any way of acomplishing this, theoretically, standard function in VB6? If all the other programs can do this why can't VB6? I'm even willing to try printing via API if someone can point me in the right direction.
