[Gambas-user] gb.report question on setting printer to print to

[Willy Raets]

Hi all,

I have this situation where I have multiple printers available.
Say they are named HP-LaserJet (default) and HP-Color.

I do not want a Report Preview but print directly to either one of both
printers available to the system.

Now most reports I made need to go to the default printer being
HP-LaserJet.

In Gambas I have a RprtPrintTo1 and RprtPrintTo2
So next code will work and print the RprtPrintTo1 to printer HP-LaserJet
(as it is the default):

Dim hReport As New RprtPrintTo1
hReport = New RprtPrintTo1
hReport.Paper = Printer.A4
hReport.Print

But some reports (like RprtPrintTo2) are specific for the printer
HP-Color (not being the default printer).
Code below will send it to HP-LaserJet (default) instead of HP-Color.

Dim hReport As New RprtPrintTo2
hReport = New RprtPrintTo2
hReport.Paper = Printer.A4
hReport.Print

How can I have the report printed to HP-Color? I can't find any property
in Report that I can set the printer to print the report to and I don't
want to use hReport.Preview. Documentation wasn't helpful either.

Using Gambas 3.5.2
