Hi experts,
I've encountered a limitation in the word layout functionality in NAV 2015. It seems that it disregards the Printer Selection setup completely. Furthermore, there is no Print dialog so all Word layouts are always printed from the default Windows printer of the users work station. I've been looking around but I cannot find any solutions / workarounds to fix this. I've seen that through CU1 (function MergeDocument) some .NET functions are called, ending in a WordHelper.CallPrintOut statement but couldn't find anything that could influence the printer from there.
Now as the Word layout function is reasonably easy to understand and nice for small customers, this seems kind of strange because it is very basic functionality that basically every customer uses. Am I overlooking something obvious? Or is it technically just not possible and is the only way to select the printer is to use RDLC?
Any suggestions / solutions / workarounds are much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Rogier
