RE: [Talk] Choose a printer from Print Destination Dialog box in CS

[Paul Donoughe]

If you find that you need to select from the C/S print dialog box, there is a really cool piece of sample code on the Boston Software web site that does it.  I didn't write it, but who ever did really deserves a lot of credit for some really cool code.

That's pretty slick and seems to have done the trick.  Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,

I add a Macro to the header of all of my NPR reports that hard codes the printer, and removing the print dialog box. You will need to be sure that each printer you call is installed as a local one.


Here is the Macro :

IF{'/GO 1^/GO,[EMAIL PROTECTED],
1^/R.WIN.COPIES;
{"E2MEDREC02","P"}^{DEV,@Z.rpt.prt.win.mode},
1^/Z.PRT.SUPPRES.DIALOG,
1^/R.NO.PRT.MSGS,
%Z.printer.close.px(""),
%Z.on.device("","",DEV,{1,1}),
@W.return("Compiling for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]),
"PRT"^/ZSPOOL.SUBMERGE},
"Transcriptions -- Medquist RDP Transcriptions Failure to Load to Meditech";

Here is the call from the report title on the general tab:

"_%(MIS)XI.MSG..zcus.is.medquist.rdp.readfail.autorun.M..m("")_"


E2MEDREC02 is the printer name.

You could also change the script to be an object script and use the windows API to go through the printer list.

Hope this helps

Good Friday morning, all!
I've searched the archives because I swear this topic has been discussed, but I only found reference to downloading a file in CS. How do I tell the system to print to a particular printer from the Pring Destination dialog box? Is there a way to scroll through the list and identify the correct one from that list?

The following code works for downloading, what modifications will make it work to print to a printer?

Do While View(, , Row:=1, col:=1, length:=17) <> "Print Destination"
Loop
Stable 1
Key "%D"
Stable 1
Key "{Tab}"
Stable 1
SendKeys "S:\filenamehere.txt"
Stable 2
SendKeys "~"
Wait 2
Pause "[EMAIL PROTECTED],1"
Enter
Wait 2
