How i select printer in Forms9i

89895Dec 12 2003 — edited Jul 25 2004

Hi,
In forms 6i running on the client/server mode we had the D2KWUTIL which had a procedure WIN_API_DIALOG.SELECT_PRINTER where I could get the printer dialog box.
The requirment is that we need to select a printer and send a text file to the printer.
I do not want to open this text file and send it to the printer because the file contains native printer landuage code and if we copy the file to the printer without opening it, the printer understands the language and prints the appropriate data. If I open the text file and send it to the printer by using the File-Print option then only junk characters will be printed.

Is there any way we can make the printer dialog come up in forms 9i with the forms running on the web?
Please help this is urgent.
