SETTING THE PRINTER PROPERTIES THRU VB

[vassoft]

hai
i used common dialog control for Printer in my application.
Intially i set the number of copies for the printer as 1(one).
code is like this.

frmIhEditor.dlgIhEditor.Copies = 1

form name : frmIhEditor
dialog component name : dlgIhEditor

When i am printing the page through my application its working perfectly with WIN2000 & WIN XP operating system.

Where as with WIN 98 its not working.

Problem is the number of copies what i set through application is automatically setting in the sysytem printer settings.
So when i print second time the same page through my application its taking the system printing copies and printing according to that even though i set number of copies again.

Eg : if i give first time 2 copies it prints 2 copies. if 2nd time if i give 3 copies its printing 6 copies.

its happening with WIN 98 only.
Please help in this regard.
Is there any command to set the system printer number of copies setting thru VB application?????

There is a printer.printerdefault property which you must set in your program to determine whether your changes affects the default settings. PK Odendaal
