Subject Re: printer paper source From <rich@autotraker.com> <<rich@autotraker.com>> Date Wed, 12 Aug 2020 13:51:53 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Thanks, I thought it may be of some use. I'll just test it since I do have a network printer. Instead of the report object I tested with choosePrinter() and _app.printer.chooseprinter() cPrinter = _app.printer.printerName If you select a specific printer it works ok but if you just take the Windows default printer, it fails to return useful information because dBASE fails to populate the printerName. I don't know if I ever reported it as a bug but that's probably how I ended up rolling my own form for selecting a printer. When you use it with the r.printer.chooseprinter() you don't have the same issue because it’s a different dialog and you can't select the default printer except by name. You also can not select the source using the r.printer.chooseprinter() So if you need to select source you'll have to roll your own form. Rich...

I don't have access to a network so I haven't tried that side of the .cc Mervyn.
