Customizing the Print Job Settings

Sheets are printed on the current default printer in your Windows environment unless you specify otherwise. You can print sheets on any Windows-supported printer.

The print job settings that you can customize include: printer, source, and page size. Set the Printer, PaperSource, or PaperSize on the PrintInfo object.

Using Code

Set various print job settings.
Print the sheet.

Example

This example code sets the paper source based on a selection from a combo box and sets the paper size before printing all the sheets.
