PRNSETUP
Top  Previous  Next

Use the PRNSETUP command to open the "Printer Setup" dialog box.

prnsetup

The PRNSETUP command allows you to control a Windows printer from within R:BASE. If you wish to use more than one option you will need to issue these as separate commands. If you change the printer using the 'printer name' your other print options will be reset so be sure to issue that command first.

It is worth noting that if you use a printer name that does not exist there will be no error and the current printer will not be changed.
