Question Printing

[Carlo H. Francisco]

How to do automatically the printer will change its font when printing?

I notice that the 'Put Control' had works on this?

Any reply would be so much appreciated...

You'll need to give far more detail on what you're doing. How are you printing? What are you printing? What Progress version? All sorts of things like that.

Plus, printer controls are very much printer specific.

Read the printer's technical manual; it's all about control codes.

I would personally stay as far away as possible from low level printer control codes.

There are plenty of choices when it comes to tools and technologies for generating and printing graphical files, like, the free docxfactory project, pdfinclude, fob etc.

I wrote docxfactory so I'm biased but there are many others.

The same goes for form generation and reporting tools that you can embed into your application, like, birt (free and open source), combit, telerik reporting etc.
