PrinterName Not Getting Set at Runtime

rbuser

Hi All,

ReportBuilder for Delphi 2007 Professional Edition, Version 10.06

I'm trying to set the report's printer name at runtime, but it's not getting
set.

code:
ppReport.DeviceType := 'Printer';
ppReport.PrinterSetup.PrinterName := 'Accounting HP LaserJet 4250';
ppReport.Print;

The .PrinterName is = 'Default', after I try to set the name.

I've tried this on two different reports, same results.

Any ideas?

TIA--patrick dohogne

Hi Patrick,

Do not set the PrinterName property directly. Try using the PrinterNames
list instead so you can be sure the correct name is being used.

ppReport.PrinterSetup.PrinterName := ppReport.PrinterSetup.PrinterNames[1];

Thank you Nico,

Your suggestion led me to my real issue - I left off the last two characters
of the printer name, when trying to assign it.
