Hi I've recently begun using Revolution and have to say I'm deeply impressed. However, one problem that's raised its head is how my applications interact with the printer. One of the feature I liked about developing platforms such as Visual Basic and RealBasic is that they allowed the user to interact with the printer through a printer object, thus allowing the user greater flexibility and control over their printing options. However, I have so far been unable to find an equivalent in Revolution - what am I doing wrong? I can talk to the printer through the 'answer printer' command, but I do not seem able to have the same results or success using the printer properties. The situation is particularly difficult when trying to talk to our Xerox DP N2125 SP3 laser printer. Therefore, when I try to make it accept an A6 label by setting the printPaperSize to the right values, it asks for paper from the letter Manual Feeder and then throws up an error when I try to feed an A6 label through. Using 'answer printer', however, and setting the paper in the dialog box works fine. Is there anyway I can send a size change request through to the printer without having to go via the answer printer command? Furthermore, is there any way I can access the printer via an object so I can save important details such as the orientation, paper type, and so on? Thanks for your time.
