PrintGetPrinter

Description

Gets the current printer name.

Syntax

PrintGetPrinter ( )

Returns

String. Returns current printer information in a tab-delimited format: printername ~t drivername ~t port.

Usage

The current printer is the default printer unless you change it with the PrintSetPrinter method. A PowerBuilder application calling the PrintGetPrinter method does not get an externally reset default after the application initializes.

Examples

Example 1

This example places the current printer name, driver, and port in separate SingleLineEdit textboxes:

String ls_fullstring=PrintGetPrinter()
String ls_name, ls_driver, ls_port, ls_temp
Long ll_placell_place=pos (ls_fullstring, "~t")
ls_name=left(ls_fullstring, ll_place -1)
ls_temp=mid(ls_fullstring, ll_place +1)
ll_place=pos (ls_temp, "~t")
ls_driver=left(ls_temp, ll_place -1)
ls_port=mid(ls_temp, ll_place +1)sle_1.text=ls_name
sle_2.text=ls_driver
sle_3.text=ls_port
