	Hi Xan! It works like designed i fear. Which version you're using? If you look into the reference you can see that the activex-version returns with a string, delphi- and dll-version with a widestring. I think you should try the dll-version (widestring result)? Cheers and welcome here, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 24 Jan 13 at 8:49PM

	Hello, I'm developing a browser plugin that prints PDFs silently in the background. Everything is working great, except for one minor issue: whenever the printer name contains anything other than ASCII, my plugin crashes completely when issuing a DPLPrintDocument command. And I'm just using the normal DPLGetDefaultPrinterName(InstanceID) as the printer's name. (I've also tried fetching the default printer myself into a string and passing that, with the same result. I think this is unlikely to come up in the real world, but it does seem like a problem. Has anybody else seen this?
