Description
The name of the printer for printing the DataWindow as specified in the system's printer selection dialog box.
Applies to
DataWindows
Syntax
PowerBuilder dot notation:
dw_control.Object.DataWindow.Printer = "printername"
Describe and Modify argument:
"DataWindow.Printer" { = printername }"Usage
The printer you select for a DataWindow does not affect the PowerBuilder default printer or the system default printer. To specify a network-connected printer, you must use a fully specified network printer name:
dw1.Object.DataWindow.Printer = "\\net-print\pr-6"
If you specify a DataWindow printer, but the printer is not found, the DataWindow engine does not attempt to print to a default device.
Examples
The following example changes the DataWindow printer (but does not affect the system default printer device):
dw1.Modify ('DataWindow.Printer="My LaserJet 3" ')You can display the DataWindow printer with either of the following calls:
string ls_dwprinter
ls_dwprinter = dw1.Object.DataWindow.Printer
ls_dwprinter = dw1.Describe("DataWindow.Printer")
