Read out selected printer name

Dynamics 365 Business Central/NAV Developers Forum

Hi there,

I would like to know if there is any possibility to read out the selected printer in a NAV report?

To make myself clear: My task is to create a printout log for a special report, containing the Information,
which user printed this specific report to which printer. Of course I know about NAV’s printer selection
and can read it out via Codeunit 1, but since this selection is only a proposal and can be changed by
the user in the printout dialogue, so I need to know which printer the user really selected and printed to.

Thanks for your help.

As far as I know, you can’t.

When user has pressed “Print…”, he/she is in Windows-environment. Which does not report anything back to NAV. Standard Event Viewer does not show anything.

But perhaps someone knows about some feature in Windows , some log…
