PrinterSetupEx dialog in CRXI R2

[Former Member]

I recently moved a VB6 project from Crystal Reports 9 to 11.5. In version 9, the dialog presented by PrinterSetupEx allowed the user to select a printer and its paper size, source and orientation (and as the user changed printers, the valid paper sizes and sources would be updated in the dialog).

In 11.5 the dialog presented by PrinterSetupEx allows the user to specify the paper size, source and orientation -- but not the printer. It seems the only place the user gets to specify a printer is in the print process itself, if the Printout/PrintOutEx is called with the promptuser option. Am I missing something? Wouldn't the printer have to be selected before the user could be presented with valid paper source and handling options?

Is there a way I can get to the old dialog? Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't remember how this worked in CR 9. And CR XI R2 being out of patch support, we will not be able to get this resolved and made equal to CR 9.

Is there a version of the RDC that is still under maintenance? I don't mind moving to a later version but using 11.5 in its given state is untenable. Thanks.

There is not. CR XI R2 is the last version of CR to ship the RDC.

BTW.; no support of CR XI R2 from June 2011.
