InfoPath Dev

I'm a .NET developer.
How can I change the active printer in infoPath istance?

In word the code is:
Dim PDFConverter_WordApplication As Object
PDFConverter_WordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
PDFConverter_WordApplication.ActivePrinter = ("Amyuni PDF Converter")

I have tryed:
Dim PDFConverter_InfoApplication As Object
PDFConverter_InfoApplication = CreateObject("InfoPath.Application")
PDFConverter_InfoApplication.ActivePrinter = ("Amyuni PDF Converter")
but ".ActivePrinter" isn't a valid property...

Help please..

Bye

Hi Marco and welcome to our forum!
Greg knows how to do this. I'll ask him.

Actually, I've never done this before. I recall a previous thread (I think on the MS Newsgroups) from a guy who was doing this, but he had issues. Mainly, that he could set the printer once, but could not change it again after that. Or--he could change it via code, but it only physically changed the first time. To change it again, he had to close InfoPath and reopen it.

His attempt was to change it to a different printer for a particular view, then change it right back to the default printer (for the other views). He could get it to change to the different printer, but never got it to change back.

As far as I know, this was never resolved.

I don't know the process he used to change the printer to begin with. I would suggest searching both this site, and the Microsoft public newsgroups, as it was on one of those two places where I saw it. I believe I had replied to his message at least once too, which may help narrow down your search.

Good luck.
