BypassWindowsPrinting property
Syntax |
object.BypassWindowsPrinting |
Data type |
Returns (first syntax line) or specifies (second syntax line) whether to disable Windows' handling of fonts, font size, font style, and lines-per-inch configuration. This property affects 3812 printing and 3287 printing. When this property is set to True, Windows printing is disabled.
The default is False.
Bypassing Windows printing is not the same as disabling Windows print spooler, which you can do from the Control Panel. Disabling the print spooler is not recommended if you're printing to a network printer or running multiple applications that may be sending data to the printer.
