Check if any printer installed

rbuser

Our many new users often have no printer installed and then get the error
message.

"Screen printer does not support printing"

Do you know of any Code to check for installed printers and warn the user.

Using Delphi 5 and Rebuilder 7.04

Hi John,

This is an issue that was fixed for a later version of ReportBuilder. One
option would be to install a device-free printer driver such as the
Microsoft Document Image Writer to avoid this message. You can also try
searching for this message in the ppPrintr.pas file to possibly disable it
in certain cases manually.

Thanks Nico.

I'll look in 10.04 and 7.04.

Installing any new software outside the delphi app is not practical
(1000+ PCs and another team).

John,

How about checking Printer.Printers.Count?
