Possibility to add dynamic printer names
Completed
To tackle a problem where forwarded printers get different names in the system, we should an option to set a printer that starts with certain words.
Now this prevents us from choosing a default printer to a crystal report (that would work with all users)

This is a major issue for us (which we never thought boyum could correct). If the above were possible, we could avoid costly vpn additions to our hosting.

This would be a great addition.
We have several customers that print labels to label printers. The label printers are not typically the default printer for a user, but each user would have a default label printer that they use when printing labels. If dynamic syntax were available we could store a default label printer name somewhere (user etc) and then assign this to the report during execution.
Currently we have multiple layouts each hard coded to a specific printer.
Cheers,

The development team has now completed this request. Expect it to be in the next release of the product. Thank you again for helping us make the product better :-) -
Hi.
Would be a nice thing to have on standard "CR - Universal Functions" as well. The printer selection screen does not include that option in the UF screen.

Has this been considered or already implemented as suggested by Magnus? I still can't seem to find an option to use a dynamic printer name on the Crystal Reports Universal Function.
