I am creating a solution in VB .NET. I am using the Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2003. I would like to create a report that is displayed in a viewer, and then when the print button is pressed, I would like to limit the available printers. Is this possible, and if so, how would I do this?


Thanks,
 
HI,
AFAIK, Printing is totally a client-side function so the user's PC is what will provide the list of printers.

There may be a way to have the output go directly to a print queue, but then it would not be viewable..

Thanks, Turkbear.

I have ended up creating my own print button that calls a print dialog form that i created. I then get a list of installed printers, and filter out the printers that i don't want the users to have access to. This is working for now...
