>>>>>>I have a routine where I need to allow user to select a printer. Then the printer name he/she selects is store in the variable. And then a bunch of reports/forms are being printed, always directed to the selected printer. I use the GETPRINTER( ) to allow user to select a printer. But the GetPrinter() window does not allow specifying printer properties. For example, if user want to print as Draft I see no way to specify it.
