Fred,
Using The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (version 6.5++), Build: 1.850xRT03,
you have the following CVAL functions available in relation to
the PRNSETUP and Windows Printers.
01. (CVAL('WindowsPrinter'))
Returns the windows default printer.
02.(CVAL('CurrentPrinter'))
Returns the name of selected windows printer for current R:BASE
session using PRNSETUP 'Printer Name' command. If no PRNSETUP
'Printer Name' command was issued, then, R:BASE for Windows
will default to the windows default printer.
03. (CVAL('Printers'))
Returns the list of all installed printers on local workstation.
Enjoy and make sure to have fun!
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
