Title:
Printing using the second printer, not the default printer
Hi,
I have two printers, "Printer Local" and "Printer Network". the default printer is the "Printer Local". I don't want to set the "Printer Network" as the default printer everytime I'm using my program that prints an invoice.
Here's the scenario, I use the "Printer Local" to print MS Word documents, so its the default printer.
I use the "Printer Network" to print invoices/OR. So what I want is to redirect the printer input to "Printer Network" without setting it as the default printer.
Here is my sample code:
SET TALK OFF
SET SAFETY OFF
SET CONSOLE OFF
tempfile = SYS(2015) + ".txt"
SET DEVICE TO FILE &tempfile
@PROW(), 1 SAY "sample text for my network printer"
* these next two lines were the original code to print
* to the default printer "Printer Local"
* you can replace these with the appropriate code :)
SET DEVICE TO PRINTER
TYPE &tempfile TO PRINTER
Thanks!
Erik
