I need to know how to set properties for print jobs that are not supported by the Printer object in vb? We have a printer that supports duplexing, stapling, and hole punching. I need to be able to set each of these on or off. When I display the print box (using the common dialog control) I can set these under the printer options, but it doesn't do anything. How can my app support all the functions of the printer driver? Currently, we have to set the options the way we want them for each job as the default printing options, then change them when we're done. This is too much hassle for the users (obviously). Any help on this would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks.

I solve same problem creating several copies of printer with representative name as properties it have. Any one with specific conbination of properties like the following:
1)canon S600 180dpi Lt bk ..... this print 180dpi resolution letter paper and only in black
2)canon S600 360dpi a3 cl ..... this print 360dpi resolution a3 paper and color
3)canon S600 180dpi bn cl ..... this print 180dpi resolution banner paper and color.
before create the printers asign in printout code the printer name you want to use.
Hope this solve your needs.
