Re: FWH 13.12 printer SetCopies problem
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2014 10:53 am
Antonio,
for another test I enhanced my example. I intergrated a second function for printing, but only with (x)Harbour functions, using the Win32Prn object. Please see function Test2 (..). This sample is now working with xHarbour and Harbour.
Printing with the Win32Prn object is working as exspected, 2 copies are printed.
So it seems to be a bug in the print engine of fivewin. The settings are correct, but they seem not to be regnognized by the printer object and they are not sent to the printer.
Please, Antonio, could you check this ?
