I have a macro that i have uses that prints drawings.

 

I use retrieve the papersize per the template loaded, & use pagesetup for paper size & scale. Then i currently use Printout3 to print to the specified printer, however Printout3 does not allow color control.   I need to add a switch for mono/color (my IT department is flipping out on the color count on our laser printer).  I see Print3 has a color switch i could control.  Is there a pagesetup switch that i am not seeing?  What would be my simplest option to add the color control without totally re-coding the print sub.

Correct Answer

I think you can use the IPageSetup object and the DrawingColor property.

Get an IPageSetup either from ISheet.PageSetup or IModelDoc2.PageSetup

There is also an IModelDocExtension.AppPageSetup. I guess that one holds the default page setups.
