Duplex capability

Is there a way to tell the duplex capabilities of the selected printer
in the print dialog? I am using Delphi 7 and RB 12.05.

Thanks,
Nick

    Hi Nick,

    You can access all the printer options by selecting the "properties"
    button of the Print Dialog.

    Duplex can also be controlled from the report designer
    (PrinterSetup.Duplex property).

    Best Regards,

    I am actually wanting to check the printer's duplex capability within
    code without the user's input. If the printer being selected in the
    print dialog has the ability to duplex, then I am needing the report to
    behave in a different way.

    var
    FPr: TppPrinter;

    FPr := TppPrinter.Create;

    FPr.PrinterName := 'MyPrinterName';
    FPr.PrinterSetup.DeviceSettings;

    // EG 1
    // get a list ov valid bins
    for i := 0 to FPr.PrinterSetup.BinNames.Count-1 do
    // do something with FPr.PrinterSetup.BinNames[i])

    // EG 2
    // do something if duplex is available
    if FPr.PrinterSetup.PrinterInfo.CanDuplex then
    // do something

    FPr.Free;
