Hello,
I am using this function: "application.getPrinters()" to get the list of printer availables, so the user can choose the printer to send the reports.
We have a problem that is not of Servoy, it is more an S.O. or printer issue.
Anyway i share it here, maybe somebody else had the same problem:
The solution have to run in several pc and of course the S.O. will be differents
The names that the S.O. takes for the same destination are differents because of capitals letters: one read "\\PC_ONE\Zebra LP2844", other read "\\pc_one\Zebra LP2844". If one p.c. choose the printer destination for one report, the other p.c. cant find this printer because the names were read on a different way for the S.O.
Also we have seen that the name destination is read in a different way from the same pc for two differents printers, so the name not only depends on the S.O. , it depends too on the printer or the kind of port is using the printer. Ej. "\\pc_one\Lexmark Optra E310 PS" for paralel port and "\\PC_ONE\Zebra LP2844" for USB port, both names read from the same pc.
Anyone else had this problem?
Any idea to solve it?
Thanks in advantage.
