Hello,

I want to print a pdf-document several times with this code:

            Dim customPrinter
            Call QP.LoadFromFile("C:\Temp\Test.pdf")
            customPrinter = QP.NewCustomPrinter(GetDefaultPrinterName)
            Call QP.SetupCustomPrinter(customPrinter, 8, 1)
            Call QP.SetupCustomPrinter(customPrinter, 4, 2)
            Call QP.PrintDocument(customPrinter, 1, QP.PageCount, QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, "PDF"))

The problem is that the printout is'nt sorted.

Does someone know an answer to my problem?

Thanks.

Unfortunately some printer drivers do not use the DEVMODE settings at all and store the settings in their own positions.

Here are some other customers with similar problem. Also this is a Windows design issue and not something we can fix in QPL apart from the following functions below.

We have added the following functions into QPL recently

Thanks for the help. The (8 years old) printer was the problem...
