Unfortunately, it is still not possible to set up printers for the application.

Imagine it this way

- If PrintRequester(_Optional Configuration File)
- SavePrinter(Configuration-File)
- EndIf
- If OpenPrinter(Configuration-File)
- If StartPrinting(JobName)

Should work on all OS. The configuration file is of course different for each printer and OS.

PB printing is not cared about. Believe it or not but companies still need to print on paper for labels and packing slips etc. PB could start a KickStarter campaign to fund development of a robust printing system.

@mk-soft,
Thank you for this suggestion. So...

Many printing applications (ie: label printer) are able to open PDF files directly.
The exact position of the elements to be printed can be defined, regardless of the printer resolution.
We just define the size of the page and that's it.

I have always argued for PDF libs to be integrated into the basic PB package.

Similarly, the industry makes extensive use of bar codes and QRCodes in printing jobs.
Excellent libs exist, some abandoned, they could be integrated (if their authors accept it)

Fred in another thread said he is open to the bounty system to implement important changes. Where is the bounty system to define a possible project?

Yes, and he said he needs some more time to think about it.

Patience isn't your strong suit, is it?
