Recall printer settings with a script?


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to recall printer settings with a script?

Sometimes I print full size and at other times I print half size. I print full size to a plotter and I print half size to a printer. Is it possible to store and recall printer settings using a script? It would be nice to just click a button that says "print half size" or "print full size".

I know I can use PrintUsingPrintDialog, but I don't want to have to change the settings each time.

There is also PrintWithoutUsingPrintDialog, but then I'm guessing it only uses the current print settings.

Anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks

Here's an idea that you can play with,

Turn on all layers of the same scale and create a viewport. Do the same for other sets of layers of other scales.

You should end up with a sheet layer of different viewports showing your whole drawing.

This layer can be setup with different printer settings.

Repeat this process for a second sheet layer and choose different print settings.

Now you can print one layer to one printer and the other layer to the other printer.

Just tried this in VW2010 but I don't have your VW2008
