Description
Gets the current printer name.
Syntax
PrintGetPrinter ( )
Return value
String. Returns current printer information in a tab-delimited format: printername ~t drivername ~t port.
Usage
The current printer is the default printer unless you change it with the PrintSetPrinter method. A PowerBuilder application calling the PrintGetPrinter method does not get an externally reset default after the application initializes.
Examples
This example places the current printer name, driver, and port in separate SingleLineEdit textboxes:
String ls_fullstring ls_fullstring=PrintGetPrinter() String ls_name, ls_driver, ls_port, ls_temp Long ll_place ll_place=pos (ls_fullstring, "~t") ls_name=left(ls_fullstring, ll_place -1) ls_temp=mid(ls_fullstring, ll_place +1) ll_place=pos (ls_temp, "~t") ls_driver=left(ls_temp, ll_place -1) ls_port=mid(ls_temp, ll_place +1) sle_1.text=ls_name sle_2.text=ls_driver sle_3.text=ls_port
