DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source not working

[Former Member]

hi to all,

i'm trying to change the paper source for a printer before printing a datastore, but it seems to not work.

i have tested all the paper.source values in this way with no success.

for ll_c = 0 to 14

    lds_1.modify ("DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source='" +string(ll_c)+"'")

    if ll_s <> '' then messagebox(ll_s ,ll_c)

    lds_1.print()

next

the problem is present either in  pb 12.6 and pb 11.5 also using different printer models

what's wrong?

Thanks in advance

Has somebody tried to change the paper bin modifying the DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source property with success?

It works for me with Kyocera printer (PB 12.1).

lds_temp.modify ("DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source=0")

(Source: auto)

lds_temp.modify ("DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source=4")

(Source: universal)

Thanks René

i've tried with  HP and Lexmark printers with no success.

In which OS did you change the paper source?

Thank in advance.

I would assume that you did something like this, did you?

for ll_c = 0 to 14

    ll_s=lds_1.modify ("DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source='" +string(ll_c)+"'")

    if ll_s <> '' then messagebox(ll_s ,ll_c)

    lds_1.print()

next

Also, I think you don't need wrap the value with quotes. Have you tried something like this?

for ll_c = 0 to 14

    ll_s=lds_1.modify ("DataWindow.Print.Paper.Source=" +string(ll_c))

    if ll_s <> '' then messagebox(ll_s ,ll_c)

    lds_1.print()

next

Hi Neil,

i have tried without using quotes and also the dot notation but pb does not change paper source.
