Keep the same printer to several reports

edited September 2010 in Devices
In earlier version I used the following to print a number och reports and
keep it to the same printer without showing Printdialog more then once.

.....
MyReport1.ShowPrintDialog := True;
PrnDummy.PrinterSetup.PrinterName := MyReport1.PrinterSetup.PrinterNamn;
MyReport1.Print;
.........
MyReport2.ShowPrintDialog := False;
MyReport2.PrinterSetup.PrinterName := PrnDummy.PrinterSetup.PrinterName;
MyReport2.Print;
.................
and so on

If the printer I choose at start isnt my default windowsprinter I get the
second report to my defgault Windowsprinter.

How do I do when I want all reports to another printer then Windows default?

    Hi Qarl,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you currently using? The only
    reason the code below would print to the default printer would be that the
    printer being assigned does not exist or is in fact the default printer. My
    first suggestion would be to use the PrinterSetup.PrinterNames property to
    get a list of all available printers so you can be absolutely certain you
    are using the correct printer name.
