I have made the changes you suggested but the routine is not restoring the original printer. Ideas?
You don't need to restore anything as the routine doesn't change the windows default printer nor the application default printer. Try this:
#include "fivewin.ch"
function main()
local oWnd
define window oWnd
activate window oWnd on init doit()
return nil
function doit()
local cPrinter:= "Your alternate printer" //prnGetName()
// printerSetup()
msgInfo( prnGetName() )
setPrinter( cPrinter )
msgInfo( prnGetName() )
return nil
//--- Set application's current printer. Returns .T. if successful.
// Author: James Bott, jbott@compuserve.com
function setPrinter( cPrinter )
local hDC:=0, aPrn, cText:="", lSuccess:=.f., cDriver:="", cPort:=""
if cPrinter <> prnGetName()
cText := StrTran(GetProfString("Devices"),Chr(0), chr(13)+chr(10))
aPrn := Array(Mlcount(cText, 250))
Aeval(aPrn, {|v,e| aPrn[e] := Trim(Memoline(cText, 250, e)) } )
if ascan(aPrn,cPrinter) > 0
// Code by Enrico Maria Giordano
cDriver := StrToken( GetProfString( "Devices", cPrinter, "" ), 1, "," )
cPort := StrToken( GetProfString( "Devices", cPrinter, "" ), 2, "," )
hDC := CreateDC( cDriver, cPrinter, cPort )
sysrefresh()
msgInfo( cDriver, "cDriver") // returns "winspool"
msgInfo( cPort, "cPort") // returns "Ne00:"
msgInfo( hDC, "hDC" ) // sometimes positive, sometimes negative
if hDC != 0
lSuccess := DeleteDC( hDC )
endif
sysRefresh()
endif
endif
return lSuccessEMG
