Normally we would never add new functionality to a year version, that is already released, but for Winprint we have made an exception this time.

A customer asked for the ability to set a Winprint printer to be the default output ‘queue’ in Auto Forms Control, and this functionality is now added in the new 2011M08x version.

On this screen you simply state ‘*WINPRINT’ as the default output queue like below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Update Auto Forms Control Definition                         AFC302D 

 Output queue . . . . . . :  AFC_INPUT1                                        
   Library  . . . . . . . :    APF3812                                         

 Type choices and then press Enter. Press F3 or F12 to exit.                   
   Description  . . . . . . . .  Job for sample printout                       
   Autostart job  . . . . . . .  N                (Y N)                        
   Code page  . . . . . . . . .  *SYSVAL          Number, *SYSVAL      F4=List 
     When to use code page  . .  *SPLFATR         *SPLFATR, *ALWAYS            

   Default output output queue and printer type                                
   Output queue . . . . . . . .  *WINPRINT                                     
     Windows PC . . . . .  KSE                                                 
     Windows printer  . .  HP Color LaserJet 4700                              

     Color support  . . .  *YES                   *NO, *YES                    
   Optional template AFC-definition to be executed after this definition       
   Template AFC-definition:                                                    
   Output queue . . . . . . . .                                                
     Library  . . . . . . . . .                                                

 F3=Exit      F4=Prompt          F10=Additional parameters   F12=Cancel        
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And then you simply use F4 to prompt for the Windows PC and windows printer.

Feel free to ask me if you want to hear more about WinPrint, and how it can print from InterForm400 onto any Windows PC connected printer.
