    Hi Bert,

    See demo 121 in the \Demos\1. Reports\... directory for an example of
    creating your own page setup dialog. Also something like the following may
    be useful to show the existing page setup from code.

    var
    lPageSetupDlg: TppCustomPageSetupDialog;
    lFormClass: TFormClass;
    begin

    lFormClass := ppGetFormClass(TppCustomPageSetupDialog);

    lPageSetupDlg := TppCustomPageSetupDialog(lFormClass.Create(Self));

    try
    lPageSetupDlg.Report := Report;
    lPageSetupDlg.LanguageIndex := Report.LanguageIndex;
    lPageSetupDlg.ShowModal;

    finally
    lPageSetupDlg.Release;
    end;

    end;

    Hi Bert,

    Sorry, after re-reading your initial post, it looks as though I gave you the
    wrong information, the code below will display the page setup dialog, not
    the printer settings dialog.

    To display the printer settings dialog you can simply call the
    Report.PrinterSetup.EditDeviceSettings function.
