The PrintDlg() WinAPI function may be called any time to display the "select printer" dialog. You can even customize that...
Initialize the Common Dialog's PrintDlg() for named printer 9-21-04

Mel, the thing is, reading from the help; Lprint uses the port whereas xprint uses the description and printerdlg gets the handle.

My question at http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=36481 might help.

I've wriote a printerdialog lookalike dialog that returns the printer description (name) and port so that either could be used. It should be somewhere in the Source Code forum. I wrote it originally to use with DLLPRINT.DLL a third-party print engine from Lance Edmonds.
