Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi,

We found that when I use a 64-bit system and set the default printer on my own PC, then set another default printer in the Stimulsoft report properties, the report should select the default printer set in Stimulsoft. However, when viewing and printing the report, it still picks my PC's default printer instead.

Example:-
The computer default printer is POS-80C and my stimulsoft one for the format i using printer PDFCreator when click on print it still goes back to the computer's default printer, not my report format default printer I have tried using the old dialog printer, and it does not have this issue. Also, when using a 32-bit system, the new dialog print works correctly.
Example of old dialog:- Please help to check this. Thanks!

Okay Thank you

Hello,

This is another Win11 bug: in some update for 2023 they updated the print menu for x64 applications.
But the new print menu simply ignores the parameters that are passed to it, everything is enabled by default.

There is still no official solution.

As a workaround, you can use an option from the code to use the old x32 print dialog:
Stimulsoft.Report.Report.Print.StiPrintProvider.UseEXDialog = false;

Thank you.

I see!
thanks for the information!.

Hello,

You are welcome.
