Set Printer

[vincentius]

Hi All,

How to set the printer device from the script? I used to set the printer from the report File menu | Page Setup. Can I set it through the program?

Thanks,

Vincent.

Using APRINTERS() you can get the currently defined printers on a given workstation. With SET("PRINTER",n), where n = 1, 2 or 3, you can determine the Current printer, The Window's Default printer and VFP default printer respectively. Finally with SET PRINTER TO NAME..., you can change the current printer. Is there anything else you need? (Note: This assumes VP 6.0+.)

Don't forget:

SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER()

GETPRINTER() brings up the same print dialog box as the File->Page Setup menu selections.

Hi all,

How to set the page? When I try SET PRINTER TO NAME GETPRINTER() I just can set the printer, not the page.

Thanks,

Vincent.

Try the SET PRINTER ON PROMPT statement. However, the page settings contained within the report may override the PROMPT statement. I havene't tested it myself.
