set default printer?

Author	Message
wchu #1 / 6	set default printer? I am now able to print direct to the default printer... How is it possible to change the default printer to another choice, print a file then change the default back? I cannot find any info on SetDefaultPrinter or any similar MFC members thanks in advance charles

Charles, I suspect that you don't want to change the system default printer - rather you want to change the current application default printer. If that is correct, have a look at Knowledge Base article Q133025 "How to Store MFC Printer Information in a Document", which I think will point you in the right direction.

wchu #3 / 6	set default printer? I found the aritcle you cited, however I must change this printer from the app not the document. sometimes this will be changed by users and sometimes by the app. putting the info in the document will not work because the printer used will change on the fly... any other ideas? thanks charles Quote: >I suspect that you don't want to change the system default printer - >rather you want to change the current application default printer.

Charles, I didn't intent you to copy the example as it was. I cited it as an illustration to show you how you might achieve the result you want. Dave -- My address is altered to discourage junk mail.

Joseph M. Newcome #6 / 6	set default printer? It isn't very hard. Use CPrintDlg to allow the printer to be set. You can then save the information delivered and store it wherever you want. The answer suggested shows how to store it in the document, but you can store it in the Registry, or just ignore it. If the CPrintDlg structure is static, then the next time you want to print you reference the same structure and you will get the desired default. joe Quote: >I found the aritcle you cited, however I must change this printer from >the app not the document. >sometimes this will be changed by users and sometimes by the app. >putting the info in the document will not work because the printer >used will change on the fly... >any other ideas? >thanks >charles >>I suspect that you don't want to change the system default printer - >>rather you want to change the current application default printer.
