Printer Device Selection
I have an application where certain forms, such as contracts and checks,
need to print to a previously specified printer automatically without the
user selecting one. I would like to create a form where there is a drop
down list of the printer devices on their computer, then they select the
appropriate printer. When they click ok, the appropriate devices are then
saved so that they can be used later to set the proper parameters of
ReportBuilder to print these forms.
What I don't know how to do is retrieve the list of printers installed on a
computer. Then, I'm not sure exactly how to set ReportBuilder with the
appropriate printer destination. Any advice or direction on this would be
most appreciated.

pse see demo 123. This demo also shows how to create a custom
printerdialog based on the RB dialog. You can use this custom dialog to
select the printer and print via the printerdevice.
enjoy,
