Draft printing with DOT Matrix Printers.

Im using Delphi 6 ; RB 7.0

My user some time wants to print the report with draft font on his dot
matrix printers. The draft mode can be manualy set on the printer, but still
when I send the RB report RB over rides the Printers manual settings. How
can I over come this ? It was possible in the olden days with clipper.

Thanks in Advance

    Hi Thatchi,

    ReportBuilder does not directly communicate with the printer. It uses the
    Windows API to issue commands to the printer driver which in turn sends
    commands to the printer. See the diagram below. Be sure you are using the
    latest printer driver for this printer.

    ReportBuilder => Windows API => Printer Driver => Printer
