report in draft

[Jean-Paul De Winter]

Hi,

When I print my report the default printer setup is so that it is always
printed in high quality...
Can I add some code to get a report in draft mode?
Thanks
JP

In Access 2002 and 2003, you can set the printer to draft mode with:
Printer.PrintQuality = acPRPQDraft
However, the report setting might override that.

You can also set the PrtDevMode property. Rather cryptic though.

How about opening the print dialog for the user to set it:
RunCommand acCmdPrint

If speed it the goal here, some printers (e.g. old dot matrix) have built-in
fonts. If you set up the report so that it uses one for those fonts instead
of a TrueType font, the report will print much faster.
