ORARRP and default printer

289799Jun 3 2003 — edited Jan 9 2007
Hi,

I have installed ORARRP on our web server and my client maching and have an Oracle web forms application that uses the ORARRP utility to print receipts on a printer attached to the client machine through LPT1. I have modified the orarrp.ini file so the choose printer is set to "no" so a print dialog will not display in order to print out receipts. This works well as long as I set my receipt printer as my "default printer". However, I don't want to set my receipt printer as my default printer. I still want my default printer setttings, but have ORARRP use the LPT port for printing.

I would like to see ORARRP have another option in the INI file so no print dialog would show and printing would be directed directly to the LPT port.

Maybe for the next version of ORARRP the developers could add another option in the INI file such as

[Options]
printer=LPT ==> output would be directed to LPT port
printer=COM ==> output would be directed to COM port
printer=USB ==> output would be directed to USB port
printer=default ==> output would be directed to default printer.

If there is any way for me to print directly to the LPT port without displaying a print dialog and setting the default printer setting, please let me know via email joey@oregon.uoregon.edu

Thanks
