This is not an R:Base issue - but a question on what R:Base is doing in
relation to printers. I know it always detects the printers on start up
and uses the windows default printer as its default unless changed. But
when is "on startup"?
Scenario -
R:Compiled application running on a application server.
Users have remote sessions on the server running the shortcut. (So in
reality, the 'local' machine is not in the equation as far as R:Base is
concerned I think.)
All local printers are 'redirected' to the server.
Issue - no printers detected.
At what point does R:Base (using R:Compiled app) detect the available
printers? The hardware / network guys are thinking that the R:Base
application is launching too fast, and the redirected printers are not done
populating. When the main menu opens, there are no printers defined, and
no default printer. I added a button to the main menu that launches
'prnsetup', but sometimes when they click it, there are no printers listed
at all.
I was thinking about adding some wait time in the start up file, but I
didn't know if that's even too late not knowing when the printers are
actually detected. Or maybe using cval to find if any printers are
detected before the main menu launches. Would CVAL('PRINTERS') return null
if no printers were detected at all? If it's null, I could alert the users
and force an exit / restart.
