 Simple Printing Question

Most programs give the user to easily select which printer on the PC or
Network to print to and I would like to give my clients that option,
opposed to just having all the reports/spreadsheets, etc. being dumbed
directly into the default printer.  Does anyone have any sample code to
create such a handly little form?  I would mucho appreciate it.

Hello Zachariah,

Check out the CommonDialog control in help.  It includes a print dialog that
does exactly what you describe.  With this dialog, you can allow users to
change the default printer to any printer installed on their system.  You
can also bring up the printer setup dialog to allow them to fully configure
their printers without printing.

I hope this helps,

That will work but it adds another module,  you can also display the
printers collection for the use and let them pick one.  This adds no
overhead, and the smaller you keep your program the better off you are.
