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

[Fabien Bodard]

hi willy


the option is available since 3.5.3

Report.Print(optional MyPrinter as printer)

if printer is defined then the configure box will not show.


dim hprinter as new printer

hprinter.name = HP-LaserJet

report.print(hprinter)
