Hope it Helps

unfortunately this’s not a report case. I’m trying to print directly by textbuffer and want to print default printer.

this will get the default printer

PrintJobSettings printMe = new PrintJobSettings();

printMe.deviceName()

this will get all printers on machine

printJobSettings pjs;

str printer;

int i;

pjs = new printJobSettings();

for (i=1; i<=pjs.GetNumberOfPrinters(); i++)

{

printer = pjs.GetPrinter(i);

pjs.DeviceName(printer);

print "printer No. ",i, " has name ", printer;

}
