Re: Assigning Printer Tray - Saving Spooled Document

[Franck Masson <franck.masson@BRIO.COM>]

how do you print the document ?
do you use some thing like this

sqrw test.sqr -nolis ( this produce test.spf file)
(save the file if needed)
sqrwp  -printer:wp test.spf

you can change the default windows printer to adress the tray selection
feature .

Franck,
