Controls how a drawing is printed. This dialog box opens when you click File > Print.

Printer

Name — Specifies the printer that you want to use. You can select from a list of all the available configured printers. The information below the Name box applies to the selected printer. The printer that you select in the Name box is the default printer for the rest of the current design session until you specify a different printer.

Properties — Opens the Printer Document Properties dialog box, which allows you to specify page setup and other printer settings specific to the selected printer.

Status — Describes the state of the selected printer, for example, busy or idle. This area is read-only.

Types — Displays the type of printer currently selected. This area is read-only.

Where — Identifies the printer path, printer port, queue name, or physical location of the currently selected printer. This area is read-only.

Print filter

Filters the selected drawings that are to be printed according to the specified criteria. If none of the check boxes in this section are selected, all selected drawings are printed.

Typicals only — Prints only the typical items as they appear in the typical view.

Apply display set — Associates symbols to a display set filter that defines which symbols to print.  If not selected, then no filtering is applied to the drawing and the entire drawing prints.

When specifying line widths for display sets, you can set label graphics and leader lines to appear in the default width of the labels regardless of the line width value specified for model items. This option is specified by using a key 'IgnoreDisplaySetWidthOnLabels' under the 'Options' section of the SmartPlant P&ID.ini file (located in the users\<username> folder) as shown:

[options]

WaterMarkWhileWorking=True

WaterMarkWhilePrinting=True

undosteps=0

autogapping=False

ConsistencyChecks=True

IgnoreDisplaySetWidthOnLabels=1

The following table shows how the values assigned in the SmartPlantPID.ini file affect the output.

Selecting the check box results in the printing of all selected drawings, including drawings that do not contain such filtered items.
