Markus,

QP.SetupCustomPrinter is the first place to start for Duplex, Copies.  

In QPL 8.xx and 9.xx  we have the following functions.

http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/GetPrinterDevModeToString.php
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/SetPrinterDevModeFromString.php

Many printer drivers require the use a custom DevMode string.  The idea is that you setup you printer driver in Windows to select the required tray, stapler, duplex etc. as default.  You then run your QPL program and call GetPrinterDevModeToString and then save that string to a file.  Now each time you want to select that tray you create your custom printer, load the string from the file and call SetPrinterDevModeFromString and this will select the correct tray, stapler and duplex settings.

This link will explain things in more detail.

As of 9.14 it is possible to combine SetupCustomerPrinter and the DevMode functions.

Andrew.

Hi Markus!

You should setup local printer installations with the needed properties
and then you can call these "printer variants" via PrintDocument.
Another idea:
You can use SetupCustomPrinter from QuickPDF:
The function:

We want set print options like duplex, punch, stable and media source (paper cassette).
I use the PrintDocument methode, but I can't find a methode for set the print options.
We use the DLL Version with Embarcadero C++.
Thank you for your support.
Markus
