VPE 3.5 Printing Problem(printer setup)

Postby IDEAL Software Support » Thu Nov 18, 2004 6:35 pm

We currently use VPE 3.1 and have just purchased VPE 3.5. My problem is with the printer setup. It seems to default to A4 paper size every time. If I change it to letter it will still try to use A4. I have tried this in a number of different printers. My question is this a bug and if so is there a work around. We are using this within C++ app under a Windows 2000 and XP Operating System.

Use v3.50. There, VPE will instruct the printer to use the page dimensions of the document. If the document is A4, it will always instruct the printer to use A4 paper. You can turn this behavior off by calling:

VpeSetPrintOptions(hDoc, PRINT_ALL + PRINT_NO_AUTO_PAGE_DIMS)

This is implemented in v3.20 R2 and all higher versions of VPE.
