>>Hi everybody,
>>
>>Here is the story. Main application (called JobControl) allows to run several automatic jobs in batch mode. These jobs consist of three basic steps: select data from our databases, transform them into custom output, create a report. In order to run them in batch, instead of printing reports we use REPORT FORM myReport TO FILE myFile. Later user can hit Distribute button, which allows to choose a printer, and the files are printed, using RawPrint.fll from Download section here.
>>
>>You can see our problem: reports are created with some printer set. Report to file command uses this printer info and produces file filled with codes for specific printer. Now, if user chooses the same printer, all would be fine. However, if he/she chooses another printer, garbage would be printed.
>>
>>I don't see a way to correctly solve this problem. My manager said, that we would design our reports oriented for specific printer, and user should choose this printer always. If he/she chooses another printer, it would be his/her fault. However, it's obviously not a good solution.
>>
>>Do you have ideas, how to solve this problem?

>>Thanks a lot in advance.

:) They are shipping labels, so they have to be printed... Most of our reports go to PDF now, then we e-mail them to customers. However, several of them still receive them printed...

Thanks anyway :)

BTW, How can you automatically (without user's intervention) print PDFs and how can you print PDF on Matrix printer, which doesn't support graphics?
