Hello everybody,

how can I open the windows printer dialog (in a form and / or in a web page)?
And how can I assign the selected printer to the printing process in RDMLX?
Reports are generated and printed with the RDMLX commands.

Best regards,
Joerg

Hi Stewart,

can I set these extensions "on the fly" in a LANSA form?

Best regards,
Joerg

This seems to say you can - http://docs.lansa.com/14/en/lansa015/in ... _value.htm
Windows printing extension parameters such as WPEN, WPPN, WPPS, WPPD, WPFD, WPDF, WPDS, WPFO and WPAS may be specified in this parameter. Any value specified in argument 2 should follow the same rules as defined for use of the windows printing extension parameter on the command line. (Refer to Windows Printing Extensions.)

Hi Mark,

thank you for this information - it is working!
I put WPEN and WPPD in the initialize event of a form, then called a function with the print commands - and the printer dialog appears.

Best regards,
Joerg
