Unpacking print job settings not identifying printerName

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mark Prouty 1,312

In AX2009, I created a class where I pass packed PrintJobSettings from table.field   ProdParmStartup.SetupPrintPickList.

When I instantiate new printJobSettings in my class run method, a new printerName is set with my default printer. What I'm having trouble with is assigning the packed container from ProdParmStartup. What I've got:

public void run(PrintJobSettingsPacked          _pjsPacked)

PrintJobSettings    ps;

; 

ps = new PrintJobSettings(_pjsPacked); // debug shows contents of pjsPacked same as ProdParmStartup

info(ps.printerPrinterName);    //shows my default printer

// alternatively

ps.unpackPrintJobSettings(_pjsPacked);
info(ps.printerPrinterName());    //shows my default printer

So it looks like the unpackPrintJobSettings does not unpack. What am I missing?

    In the code above, what were you expecting the printerPrinterName() to be after you unpack. The initial printer shows default and after Unpack shows the default.. Am i missing some thing here ?

    I am wanting the printer job settings that are passed to the parameter _pjsPacked that are from ProdParmStartup.SetupPrintPickList. The class has a get/put method parmPrintJobSettings that is getting the field contents.

    if you have your own class that implements PrinterJobSettings .. you might have to look at this URL with section "Using RunBaseBatchPrintable class"

    Hi Mark,

    I have exactly the same problem.

    Did you find a solution ?

    Thanks

    So, I put this aside for some weeks now, and on revisiting it, I found that I was actually sending printJobSettings.printerSettings(), not printJobSettings.packPrintJobSettings() into the _pjsPacked parameter. It seems so obvious and I feel so silly. Thanks, Sree, for your helpful pointers.
