Specify a different printer

Post by ragkag »

Using PDFTools, I'm printing PDF files but I would like to use a different printer other than the default. Can the printer be changed using the command line arguments in PDFTools?

Hi,

Would it help to show the "Print" dialog-box just before printing.

So, you can change the destination printer if needed.

Kind regards.

Hello ragkag,

Sorry to say, but the printer cannot be set via the command line. It can only be set in the UI in two ways:
1. The way Willy suggested (choosing the printer during the tool run).
2. By settings printer in action options in advance (More options... or gear icon).

Thanks to both of you. I was hoping it could be done without any user intervention so I'll take both ways into consideration.
