Hi,
Hope som of you guys can help me out here.
I'm having problems printing with correct printer settings. Some of the settings are not used by Crystal Reports basic version in VS2008.
I use this code:
PrintDialog printer = new PrintDialog();
printer.ShowDialog();
printerSettings = printer.PrinterSettings;
report.PrintOptions.CopyFrom(printerSettings, pageSettings);
report.PrintToPrinter(printerSettings.Copies, printerSettings.Collate, printerSettings.FromPage, printerSettings.ToPage);
When I open the printer dialog again with the earlier choosen settings, the settings are correct:
printer.PrinterSettings = PrtSettings;
printer.ShowDialog();
But when I print a report, settings like scaling and other stuff in the preferences dialog are not used by Crystal. The settings in the PrintDialog is correct though (number of copies,etc.)
When I use the CrystalReportViewer the settings choosen are used as supposed to when printing, but in my scenario I have to print automatically.
What to do?
How come it's not working?
Pleeeze help...
/Ivan
