Duplex Printer

Thak you for your support.

So, I'll have to change all my reports ?

May I take some properties from the windows printer setup ?

Thaks.

When you design a report you configure the Report.PrinterSetup properties.
These are saved as part of the report definition. When the report prints,
the PrinterSetup properties are assigned to the printer driver.

If you want all of your reports to use duplexing, then yes you need to
configure the Report.PrinterSetup properties to do that. You can do that
programmatically if you prefer.

If you want to get the windows default PrinterSetup properties and apply
them to the Report.PrinterSetup prior to calling Report.Print, that will
work as well.

Example:

uses
ppPrintr;

var
lPrinter: TppPrinter;

begin

lPrinter := TppPrinter.Create;

lPrinter.PrinterName := ppPrinters.DefaultPrinterName;

ShowMessage(ppPrinters.DefaultPrinterName + ': ' +
lPrinter.PrinterSetup.PaperName);

{assign default printer settings to a report}
myReport.PrinterSetup := lPrinter.PrinterSetup;


lPrinter.Free;

end;
