Re: Setting color print option problem

Unfortunately they are on v13 still. Looks like its available only starting
in v15.

Looks like they will have to live by doing manually each time they change
settings for a print job.

Thanks.

you can use print settings to BLOB

we have been using it to switch colour / BW since 4D 2004.

v16:

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a more elegant solution?

Setting color print option problem

[Jim Labos - infobase via 4D_Tech]

A customer is using a Xerox printer where customer is charged on a per page
printed basis. There are 2 tariffs, the cheaper one is the black and white.
Since the customer mostly does not need the color options I set him up with
a way to set his print settings at startup so tha he does not have to do it
for every print job. The difference in cost is hundreds of dollars per
month, easily over $1000 per year. So I can understand his concern.

On v13 Mac you cannot use the color settings option for Set Print Option. It
only works on Windows and they are a mac only shop. The only way to have a
setting that is maintained is to use Print Settings to bring up the system
Print Dialog and make settings in there. That seems to work most of the
time. Not sure why yet, but the customer says the settings do not always
maintain for the entire 4D session.

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a more elegant solution?

Thanks
