You can use NewCustomPrinter and SetupCustomPrinter to change certain print parameters.

I understand now...... but

this is my code:

QP.LoadFromFile(filename, "")

CustomPrinter = QP.NewCustomPrinter("\\server name\printer name")

QP.SetupCustomPrinter(CustomPrinter, 9, 5)

PrintOption = QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, "Test")

QP.PrintDocument(CustomPrinter, 1, 1, PrintOption)

during printdocument i have an error.

and if i look inside CustomPrinter the value is "3

customprinter is defined like string

thanks

QP.LoadFromFile("PrintDocumentTest.pdf", "");

int op = QP.PrintOptions(1, 0, "My QPL PrintJob");

string printer = QP.NewCustomPrinter(QP.GetDefaultPrinterName());

int ret;

ret = QP.SetupCustomPrinter(printer, 6, 1); // Colour = Monochrome

// see this link for other paper sizes.

// http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/faq/what-paper-size-values-can-be-used-with-the-setupcustomprinter-function.php

ret = QP.SetupCustomPrinter(printer, 9, 13); // PaperTray = DMPAPER_B5

ret = QP.PrintDocument(printer, 1, QP.PageCount(), op);

You need to choose your printer name from list created with QP.GetPrinterNames(); or QP.GetLatestPrinterNames().

Hi Alberto!

You should read in the online-reference here:
GetPrinterNames
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/GetPrinterNames.php
NewCustomPrinter
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/NewCustomPrinter.php
PrintDocument
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/PrintDocument.php
Take the printername from the csv-list and insert it into PrintDocument.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo
