Is anybody knows how can i recover the original setup printer after i change it?

i'm doing this:

the default printer is N printer, my user has to print a document in laser quality so i change it and start my report procedure:

PRINTERDIALOG('Choose Printer')
PrintConstancias2004(CONS:NUMDOCTO,CONS:FECHA_IMPRE)

what i need is that when i get back from the report, the user can change back to the default printer without the printer dialog

thanks
 
Hi,

Have you tried to use Printer{PROPPRint:Device} to read or set the printer?

OldPrinter String(50)
OldPrinter = Printer{PROPPRint:Device}
PRINTERDIALOG('Choose Printer')
PrintConstancias2004(CONS:NUMDOCTO,CONS:FECHA_IMPRE)
Printer{PROPPRint:Device} = OldPrinter

You will need to add INCLUDE('PRNPROP.CLW') to the project in the global includes

Valery.
