Printer Selection
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2014 11:10 PM

Hello,

I need to print to a specific printer on a workstation without user interface.

I am using

PRINT oPrinter NAME "Labels" TO "MAR-ZM400"

It is going to the wrong printer even though printer name is correct.

Is there a way to get a list of printers on a workstation then select the appropriate printer and save for future use?

If someone could provide sample code, I would greatly appreciate it!

SIncerely,

This is a simple printer selection function. You can save the result to dbf, ini, or other.

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

function myChoosePrinter()
   local aPrinters, cPrinter := ''
   local nPrinter := 0

   aPrinters := getprinters()
   nPrinter := MsgList( aPrinters, "Select Printer")

   if nPrinter != nil .and. nPrinter > 0
      cPrinter := aPrinters[ nPrinter ]
   endif
   // msginfo( cPrinter )
return( cPrinter )
