Set Printer by Using the DOM-API

Valid from List & Label 15
You can use List & Label's object model (DOM) to set the printer without using LlSetPrinterInPrinterFile. Following is a sample for C#: 
// needs to be called within the DefinePrintOptions event

// create list project class
ProjectList proj = new ProjectList(LL);

// get the currently loaded project
proj.GetFromParent();

// set the printer
proj.Regions[0].Device.Name = "\"<Printer name>\"";


If you want to save the options permanently, you’d need to open the project before calling LL.Print():

// set data source
LL.DataSource = ds;

// create list project class
ProjectList proj = new ProjectList(LL);

// open required project
proj.Open("test.lst", LlDomFileMode.OpenOrCreate, LlDomAccessMode.ReadWrite);

// set the printer
proj.Regions[0].Device.Name = "\"<Printer name>\"";

// save the project
proj.Save();

// close the project
proj.Close();


More hints on the usage of DOM functions can be found in the .NET component’s help file, the programmer’s reference and the diverse samples.
