SelectPrinter, NextPrinter

Post by stefanpape »

Hello,

You can do almost everything with PureBasic, but the PrinterLib is incomplete.
Two things really missing:

1. A command to print on a specific printer (not the default printer) like SelectPrinter(printername$)
2. A command to get the names of all installed printers (something like NextPrinter)

There is a good UserLib (PrinterLib), but this things should be a native part of PureBasic to use it in all OS.

Thank you

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
