Hi Mark,
thanks for writing. I tried this already but had some trouble on the
Windows Platform, while it appeared to work on Mac OS - but since
I've read some discussions on using the PrinterSetup string and one
clear statement was not to use this string since it's content,
structure and availability might change with future versions of OS
and Realbasic I kept my fingers off this method. Well - that was
during times of RealBasic 5.5 and 2005, maybe I should have a look on
it once again...
Anyway - thanks for the idea.

I need to show up a printer dialog to the user so that he/she
manually selects the options necessary each time (which means lost
time before the print job could be sent, each time you sent a
print job) and since all the parameters could be accessed from the
printer dialog I assume it would not be a too much complicated job
for Real Software to make these parameters accessible from the
code as new printer object parameters or as an overloaded
printerobject.open(sourcetray as integer, outputtray as integer,
duplexer as boolean, stitch as integer) for example.
Couldn't you just store the PrinterSetup string? Since it's a
binary string, you need to store it Base64 encoded. I've done this
in one of my applications where the user can select the printer and
configure it separately from actually printing the job.
HTH!
