You can configure it to print from any screen using data from the form. You can also dynamically select the printer. We do this on the shop floor in report quanity, every machine has a printer. We also do this in the office from a UD table Here is an example
Dim UD01 As EpiDataView = Ctype(oTrans.EpiDataViews("UD01"),EpiDataView)
Dim Printer As String = UD01Form.Session.UserID
Dim TagNumber As String = UD01.dataView(UD01.Row)("Key1")
Dim strPath As String = "C:\Progra~1\Seagull\BarTender\8.0\bartend.exe"
Dim strParam As String = "/F=C:\Tags.btw /PRN= /P /X /?TagNumber="&TagNumber
Dim strParam2 As String = strParam.Insert(20,Printer)
Process.Start(strPath, strParam2)
Dim UD01 As EpiDataView = Ctype(oTrans.EpiDataViews("UD01"),EpiDataView)
Dim Printer As String = UD01Form.Session.UserID
Dim TagNumber As String = UD01.dataView(UD01.Row)("Key1")
Dim strPath As String = "C:\Progra~1\Seagull\BarTender\8.0\bartend.exe"
Dim strParam As String = "/F=C:\Tags.btw /PRN= /P /X /?TagNumber="&TagNumber
Dim strParam2 As String = strParam.Insert(20,Printer)
Process.Start(strPath, strParam2)
