Printer selection in Data Entry Form

I'm using a shortcut for the end user to go directly to the prompt field but I'd like to be able to select a printer from a drop down menu built in the data entry form.  Is this possible via VB scripting or some other way?

 

"C:\Program Files\Seagull\BarTender Suite\bartend.exe" /AF="\\ETIQUETTES\Test label.btw" /P /X /S

  Hello Martin,

  I am afraid that currently there is no way within Bartender to accomplish this.  You can use the SDK and create a custom application that will allow your user to select a printer at the time of print.

   

  Thank you,

  I also want to point out some other options you may consider. You can also probably include the /PD in your shortcut command to bring up the print dialog at print time to switch the printer. You can find more information about our command line parameters here.

  Also another option you may consider is using our Print Station companion application that offers nice point and click user interface for users to select and print labels. You can more information about Print Station here.
