Device Control Properties

[Windows platform only; not supported by PHP and the Community Edition]

VPE offers a large set of properties and methods to give you all control over the printing device. By default, VPE selects now the default (standard) output device after a call to OpenDoc().

 

Remarks:

Changing the properties (like DevBin, DevOrientation, DevPaperFormat, etc.) during the print-job doesn’t work with some (buggy) printer drivers, for example some fax drivers and the HP4 M Plus driver (the HP4 PS driver should work with the HP4 M Plus printer!).

Some properties and methods don’t work with some printer drivers. For example "DevTTOption" doesn’t work with our HP4 and HP5 printer drivers on WfW 3.11 and NT 3.51, but it works with both drivers on Win95. This is a driver problem.

Printer drivers are manufactured by vendors independent of IDEAL Software; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these product’s performance or reliability.

Win32s is not officially supported by VPE. The Sophisticated Printer Control does not work with Win32s.
