print dialog strange problem
maybe you have noticed if you're using dot-matrix report that print dialog is little bit different i.e. it has options for escape commands and so.
well...my problem is that from time to time when i'm using dot-matrix report standard print dialog is shown i.e. without options for escape commands etc., and that is problem cause i can't use condensed fonts and so, and report looks messy.
i couldn't find what exactly causes this to happen, neither i've find some logic. sometimes everything works fine, and sometimes i print few reports, and when i want to print another one the print dialog is changed??
ideas?

I struggle too with the same dot-matrix problem. The print dialog form is diff. for each printer. When I send only to dot-matrix printer there is no problem. But when i send to another printer (e.g an Laser) a report and then try to dot-matrix the Escape Commands combo is disappear in print dialog box. So, i need, setting the Escape Commands to Epson, without showing the print dialog. I know, that the Escape Commands combo items come from printers.xml. I'm deleted all other printers except Epson from this file but its don't work.
Same problem too with me, I use Fast Report 4.9.62 and it seem the bugs still exist for many years. Is there any workaround? or maybe this code can be alternate for that problem?
frReport1.PrepareReport;
frReport1.ExportTo(frTextExport1, 'prn');
Anyone try that with some condensed font?
