Business value
Using these events, developers can create extensions that implement support for cloud-printing providers.
Feature details
Using SetupPrinters, a developer can insert possible printers to be used in the printer selection page for reports (in the printer virtual table). Each printer can be given a display name as well as a specification of properties such as duplex, number of copies, color, and paper trays. In a paper tray, properties, such as PaperSourceKind, PaperKind, and landscape can be set.
Using OnDocumentPrintReady, a developer can react on reports being printed and use information in the printer virtual table to send the document to a printer.
