Devicetype = dtPrinter obsolete?

rbuser

When did dtPrinter and dtArchive etc become 'Printer' and
'Archive' ? I wish I'd known earlier 'cos I do lots of checks to
see if a preview is actually printing (if devicetype=dtPrinter)
to generate history etc.

It is still used. Make sure ppTypes is in your uses clause.

They should be declared like this when you look in ppTypes.pas:

{simulated enumerated types for DeviceType property}
dtArchive = 'ArchiveFile';
dtPrinter = 'Printer';
dtFile = 'TextFile';
dtTextFile = 'TextFile';
dtReportTextFile = 'ReportTextFile';
dtXHTMLFile = 'XHTMLFile';
dtScreen = 'Screen';
