Printer.printers example

[Gert]

Hi,

I have a pc with a label printer and a normal A4 printer.

Here is what I want to do:
My tool needs a custom print-settings panel where I can select and store the default printer for printing labels and the default printer for printing A4 pages.
Once the app knows these settings I want to print to labels and A4 pages without having a printer settings screen.

So how can I have a lookup of all printers and how can I print to a selected printer? Printer.printers looks like the method to use, but I can't get it to work. I want to access it from the AS3 SWFKit classes.

thanks!

Anybody?

Swkkit staff, can I have one quick example on how to use Printer.printers using As3 classes?

Ok, after trial 'n error ... I found this solution:

in swfKit, initialize script:

//called from flex
function swfkitGetPrinterList() {
	//Dialogs.msgBox("Printer.printers.join: "  + Printer.printers.join("<$$>"));
	var s = Printer.printers.join("<$$>");
	return s;
}

in Flex3:

var g:Global = new Global;
var s:String = g.swfkitGetPrinterList(); 
var printerlist:Array = s.split("<$$>");

However I could not get network printers, only local ones show up
Anybody?
