Hello,

I'm developing a browser plugin that prints PDFs silently in the background.  Everything is working great, except for one minor issue: whenever the printer name contains anything other than ASCII, my plugin crashes completely when issuing a DPLPrintDocument command.  And I'm just using the normal DPLGetDefaultPrinterName(InstanceID) as the printer's name.  (I've also tried fetching the default printer myself into a string and passing that, with the same result.

I think this is unlikely to come up in the real world, but it does seem like a problem.  Has anybody else seen this?

Hi Xan!

It works like designed i fear.
Which version you're using?
If you look into the reference you can see that the activex-version returns with a string,
delphi- and dll-version with a widestring.
I think you should try the dll-version (widestring result)?

Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
