The OutputBin property of the Printer Settings of the Report is set to one
of the constants. I believe these correspond to the constants listed in
Windows.pas for DMBIN_ i.e.
DMBIN_UPPER = 1;
DMBIN_FIRST = DMBIN_UPPER;
DMBIN_ONLYONE = 1;
DMBIN_LOWER = 2;
DMBIN_MIDDLE = 3;
DMBIN_MANUAL = 4;
DMBIN_ENVELOPE = 5;
DMBIN_ENVMANUAL = 6;
DMBIN_AUTO = 7;
DMBIN_TRACTOR = 8;
DMBIN_SMALLFMT = 9;
DMBIN_LARGEFMT = 10;
DMBIN_LARGECAPACITY = 11;
DMBIN_CASSETTE = 14;
DMBIN_FORMSOURCE = 15;

If you are using your own preview instead of the standard preview form then
your printer setup should be done using the PrinterSetup method of the
quickreport component. I wonder if the OutputBin property has an ordinal
value you can save to your INI file?
