QUESTION:
I want to be able to programmatically tell a WinPrint 2 report to print to a specific printer without the user selecting it and without having the "Print Setup" dialog pop up before printing. How can I do this?
ANSWER:
To print directly without the print dialog, set the Output_Device_Mode of the cWinReport2 object to Print_To_Printer_No_Dialog.
To print to a specific printer, in Function Starting_Main_Report, before the "forward get", call DFSetDevice:
Send DFSetDevice "Canon i350"
The device name is the printer name as listed in the "Printers and Faxes" Windows control panel.
