Add Non Listed Printer Driver Via Program?
Aug 4, 2009
After some digging around both here and the www in general I have plucked the following code to allow me to install a non listed printer driver to my XP machine. Problem is I am unable to get it to function properly.
The first section of the code creates the port every single time with out fail on any machine that I have tried but doesn't seem to function with the addition of the drivers.
I am trying to install HP driver that have been downloaded for HP site (extracted into C:emp1hp3035 ). I am also trying the same with a HP 4730 printer but neither work. I know i'm over looking something but what??
from most of the sites I need both the .ink and the .dll references but the HP .exe when extracted give a scatter of .cab files. I have tried to extract the EN one and use the dll from there still no joy (this it the .dll reference below.)[code]...

Trying to figure out if there is anyway built into windows 7/Vista/XP and/or Dpinst to verify that a driver is installed? I created a program that uses DPinst to install a driver and now I need to figure out how to tell the user that it is safe to close the program once the driver is install as the driver takes longer on some machines to install. Would anyone know how to get this to work?

I have some code to list all the print drivers currently installed on a system and code to change the default printer, does anyone know how this can be modified to delete a printer (eg: populate the listbox with installed drivers and delete the driver if double-clicked?). I know how to handle the double-click event, I just need some help working out how to delete the driver.[code]

I have a label printer with the driver loaded with the settings in the driver set I can print the exact label that I want, I have the problem that I need to set the default settings in the driver when the software starts. there are 6 of these printers and the only problem we have found is that different operators like to change the settings.
What I need to do is to set the following commands in the driver so each time the system is started (daily) it loads the settings and works properly.
I need to set
Custom Commands Text, Start, Parsed Text
In the Advanced Setup, turn on use printer settings
Other settings would be usfull but as I cannot set these I do not think I will be able to set others.
I can currently set some of the commands eg,
DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.Copies=2

I need to create a driver that can be installed as a printer and instead of printing to a physical printer it needs to print to a text file. I have no idea how to do this. I have searched for an answer on these forums but so far I haven't had much luck. I know it isn't easy to create a driver in VB but I don't know if this is technically a "driver" since it isn't interfacing with actual hardware.

I want to create a virtual printer that I can use to print documents from any program. When I print a document, I want a special form to pop up with different fields in it. I want the printer to show up as one of the printer selections when I press print from my web browser and any other windows program. I have virtual pdf printers installed on my computer. I would like to use the dll in the programs to create my own virtual printer and print from it.

I would like to know if I can alter the printer's print orientation from Landscape to Portrait and vice versa directly at the time of printing.
I can find, and have found: The installed printer's name, it's Landscape angle and I'm sure I could extend that to a whole host of other information.[code]...

1. Detect if my printer is busy, because my code tells the printer to print more pages that it can cope with, so I need to delay the command for 'Print the next page' until the printer has finished printing the previous one.
2. Shift the output to my printer so that it gets printed in it's entirety on the paper, instead of seemingly being anchored to some nebulous point on the A4 page. It starts printing at X = 29mm from the left edge, and Y is 28mm from the top, and stops at X = 22mm from the right edge and Y stops at 22mm from the bottom edge, leaving (aprox) 50mm of X and 50mm of Y unprinted.
3. Get useful information on Bounds, which I'm fairly certain is what I need to control where my printing should start and finish.
I've hunted through this forum, MSDN, 'Help' (a misnomer if ever there was one) the VB Library and one or two other forums, which either baffle me with reams of code or suggest code to try which either just don't work or which doesn't declare all the variables and usually don't suggest what type of variable I need, it's all very frustrating

When I run my VB application (as far as I know any application) within Visual Studio I get a bunch of exceptions listed in the Immediate Window. They seem to refer to system files, not the files I generate. They also keep generating as the program processes data. Here is a sample.
Quote:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Any thoughts as to what this is and whether it is a problem. The applications seem to run fine.

I managed to create an application that is listed in the 'open with' list only in debug version. Means, when I right click on a file extension and select "open with..." I get the 'choose program' dialog and can browse for my app, nothing impressive. The weird part is, that when I enter the path to the debug version of my program is works, and when doing the same to the release version my app is not even listed, it is simply not shown...
Does anybody know what it needs to make a simple VB.net app be listed here, any fancy debug/release setting?
