Choosing a printer

[Skyline]

Hello gurus!

I was wondering is it possible to choose the used printer directly by code without any dialog boxes etc? If it is, could someone give a little code how...

Also, is there any way to select an orientation of the printer via code? Also, I'd like to know how to modify the scaling... I have tried Printer.Orientation and Printer.Zoom -methods but they didn't work.

Check out the Printer object. You can provide the Combobox (or Listbox) with available printers:

Dim prn As Printer

For Each prn In Printers
    Combo1.AddItem prn.DeviceName
Next

Then after the user selects the printer, you can use it to print:

Dim prn As Printer

For Each prn In Printers
    If prn.DeviceName = Combo1.Text Then
        prn.Print "This is a printer demo"
        prn.EndDoc
        Exit For
    End If 
Next
