Same layout printed on differents printers

Christophe Vuignier

Hello,
If the user print (for ex) an order directly, it must be printed on a small printer. But if he prints from a selectgrid (massive prints), it must be rediriged on a larger printer.

I know how to make that if I use two layouts (clone), but how can I make that on the same layout ?

The PrintDef is not the same (one for one order, and another one for SelectGrid).

I precise that the SelectGrid is "order" form type, accordly to my last post on the same subject.

Thank you in advance..
Chris.

PS : If I change the whole template by using ObjType in place of FormType, does it work ? Does the printer flag work also with these changes ?
With that, I can change the SelectGrid's FormType from Order to MySelectGrid and use it in the Layout to choose the right printer.

Hi Chris
I strongly suggest to use FormType not ObjectType.
Now for the Printing you hav several options.
If you have two different Printdefs just enter for example A to the FreeText Column in the firsr Printdef and B in the FreeText Column of the second one.

Or you can write '[%BatchPrint]' to the FreeText and then distinguish between "Y" for Yes meaning its a massive Print or "N".

The in the Layoutdefinition you can distungiush by using A and B in the Printer Tab.
