Preview, default pinter and two printers in system

Post by + 1 »

Hi all.
I have two printers in system, in one (default) size of papers is A4, in second width of paper is 80 mm.
I need to print the document on the second printer.
If I open the preview, the paper size A4 is displayed there.
How to change the target printer on the preview?

TRichView uses setting of the current printer.
You can change printer by assigning Printer.PrinterIndex, where Printer is defined in the Printers unit.

What code do you need?



uses Printers;

...

Printer.PrinterIndex := 0; // switching to printer having the name Printer.Printers[0]
...
Printer.PrinterIndex := 1; // switching to printer having the name Printer.Printers[1]

If preview is already displayed, you need to call RVPrint.FormatPages after changing PrinterIndex.
