Printing to Fax

edited July 2004 in End User
Hi

I'm using RBuilder 5.55 with Delphi 5. When a user chooses to Print to a Fax
machine from the Print Dialog is there any way that I know that they've
chosen to Print to a Fax Machine rather than a Printer. My problem is that
our customers use pre printed stationery when printing stationery when
printing but not when faxing so they want logos to appear on the report when
faxing but not when printing. I can make all images invisible in the Before
Print procedure but I need to know has it been sent to Fax or Print.

Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi Fearghal,

    Inside the Report.BeforePrint event you can check the
    Report.PrinterSetup.PrinterName property. If this name matches the name of
    the fax machine, you know your user selected to print to that printer.
