Hi all

I've done a cross post on this reply tomyself(!) because I cant find an
appropriate group to post this on.

OK i've dug a bit futher an can confirm that when I use GetPrinter to get
the PRINT_INFO_2 data from the printer is the duple mode is set the correct
value is returned

If it is not set the I change the DevMode.dmDuplex value and then pass it
through DocumentProperties

Move
(DocumentProperties(0,hPrinter,AddressOf(sPrinterN ame),ppi2.pDevMode,ppi2.pDevMode,(DM_IN_BUFFER+DM_ OUT_BUFFER)))
to iFlag

When it comes out the other side of this dmDuplex is still set how I set it

I then call SetPrinter with the full PRINT_INFO_2 data and it returns non
zero ie succeeds

Move (SetPrinter(hPrinter,2,pPI2_Data,0)) to iFlag

BUT the duplex value when I go and check in the property panel of the
printer has not changed ????

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks

Andrew
