Parameters of a printer

[=?Utf-8?B?UGF0cmljaw==?=]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the parameters of a printer with VB ?

My printer can print on both sides and I would like to change the parameters
to print on both sides according to criteria but all automatically.

Thank you for your assistance.

Re: Parameters of a printer

that was the reason why I had to built my application in vb.
we are printing toons of stuff: regular one page monochrome, duplex
color, certified label card, etc.
the only way I found to work this out, is simply by adding on the
print server machine a different drivers for the same printer with
different settings. one driver is DL_MS - Dell Laser Monochrome Single
Page, other is DL_MD - Monochrome Duplex, etc.

Even though if you found a way to change all neccessery setting to
your printer throught vb, it does not mean that somebody else printing
in the same moment would not overwrite these setting (been there, done
that)


hope this helps a little :)
