Switched to default printer

rbuser

Hi all,

we are using RBuilder on Delphi 7. We have a customer that has setup a
network printer for its reports in the application.

After printing 3-4 reports the program stops suggesting the network printer
and he is switched to the default. I wasnt able to reproduce it at the
office and I fear it might have something to do with the printer going into
a sleep mode or something?

- If a report definition is loaded and the saved property value for
PrinterSetup.PrinterName does not match one of the available printers, then
the PrinterSetup.PrinterName will switch to 'Default'

- Each report that you design will have Report.PrinterSetup properties that
are saved as part of the report definition. The PrinterSetup properties
include the PrinterName.

- The value for PrinterSetup.PrinterName is 'Default' which will use the
Windows Default Printer as specified by the Windows Printer Panel
(accessible from the Control Panel in Windows).

- The available PrinterSetup.PrinterNames[] will vary from machine to
machine based upone the printer drivers that are installed. The exact names
can vary from machine to machine, even for the same printer model.
