Printer by default

Post by Jennypi »

Hello,

I tried to set the "printer name" of one of my report. I was expected that the default printer selected in the print dialog would then be this printer. But it's not working, the default printer is another one.
I don't want to disable the print dialog, as I want my users to be able to select the page range to print.

Is there a way to do what I want?

Thank you.

Hello, Jennypi.

We set the Printer Name before opening the Print Dialog. The check the PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters collection and if the printer there it is set as default printer.
How do you set the Default Printer? What version of our product do you use?

Thank you.

Hi

Sorry for my late reply.
I think that unfortunately this feature won't apply in my case. Indeed, we use Microsoft RDS technology to connect to the server where Stimulsoft is installed. RDS takes all the printers installed on the client, with the same default one. So it overrides the Stimulsoft setting...
Too bad!

Thanks for your help anyway!
