Hi Peter,

Since not all printers support color printing, this is a printer specific
feature. You will need to either set this in the advanced settings of your
printer, or access the printer's Dev mode. See the article below for more
information on accessing the Dev Mode.

If you have the german language dlls installed, the printer dialog should
show up translated in german. If for some reason some of the labels are not
translated, it may be because they were added after the latest translation
was done. You can use the language translation utility located in the
RBuilder\Languages\... directory to translate the strings yourself.

Tech Tip: Configuring Printer Specific Options
-------------------------------------------------

The Report.PrinterSetup properties can be used to set the properties that
are common to all printers. Internally RB applies these to the Windows
DevMode structure.


Report.PrinterSetup <----> Windows DevMode <-----> Printer Driver <--->
Printer


Printers often contains additional features, such as output bins, media
types, etc. The Windows DevMode structure can contain a private area that is
used the printer driver to store printer specific options. These can be
configured by using the Printer Driver's built-in properties dialog. These
options can theoritically be set programmatically, the trick is that you
have to know where in the structure to store the option and what values are
valid.

The following example shows how to display the printer properties dialog and
save the devmode for use within RB...
