'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function PrintSetPaperBin( _
   ByVal PaperBin As PaperSource _
) As Boolean

public bool PrintSetPaperBin( 
   PaperSource PaperBin
)

public function PrintSetPaperBin( 
    PaperBin: PaperSource
): Boolean;

public function PrintSetPaperBin( 
   PaperBin : PaperSource
) : boolean;

public: bool PrintSetPaperBin( 
   PaperSource* PaperBin
)

public:
bool PrintSetPaperBin( 
   PaperSource^ PaperBin
)

Parameters

PaperBin: A PaperSource object that defines the new value of the paper source property to be used.

Return Value

true if the method has been followed successfully, otherwise false. Please use the GetStat method or the PrintGetStat method to determine the specific reason for the method's failure.

Remarks

Just to remind you that the active printer is the printer identified by the PrintGetActivePrinter method or set by the PrintSetActivePrinter method and it is dedicated to executing all subsequent print jobs using this class as well as utilizing all by you altered printer settings.
