Using the different PC_PRINTER options  if you want to print several copies you must always first select the copies, CALL PC_PRINTER_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES  and afterwards  PC_PRINTER_OPEN.

is there a way first open the printer, and afterwards, depending on the selected printer ask the user if he wants several copies?

Or even better, can I set a flag, so that the PC_PRINTER_OPEN asks how many copies I want?

Thanks

Rolf

Hi Rolf,

Turning the flag's bit 1 on will cause the printer dialog to be displayed when calling PC_PRINTER_OPEN, and this will allow you or the user to set the number of copies from the Properties dialog.
