Most printer drivers seem to ignore the information provided through the callable API. So, the only other choice is to allow you to use the Print Setup dialog box. In order to do that, we had to use a DLL so that the specifications entered in the Print Setup dialog can be shared with the program that actually does the printing.

So, when you choose client-side printing, the report file is sent (over the net) to the client, and then the client invokes functions inside the winprintdll.dll module to actually spool the report to the printer (using a combination of the disposition options and the print setup dialog specs).
