Need help with custom printer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,

My printer can print both A4 and A3, the defualt is A4. How can I select to print on A3 paper I am guessing I need to use a custom printer something like:

    MyPrinter := QP.NewCustomPrinter(QP.GetDefaultPrinterName());

// NOT SURE WHAT TO DO HERE
    QP.SetupCustomPrinter(MyPrinter,1,????); 
// NOT SURE WHAT TO DO HERE

    QP.PrintDocument(MyPrinter, 1, MyPageCount, MyOptions);

Has anyone done this before who could help out.

Many thanks in advance.

Mac

	Hi Thought others might like to know that I found the answer in windows.pas. DMPAPER_A3 = 8; // A3 297 x 420 mm DMPAPER_A4 = 9; // A4 210 x 297 mm QP.SetupCustomPrinter(MyPrinter,1,8); Thanks Mac
