Batch Printing Of Files?
Oct 17, 2011
I have been asked to develop a solution which send to the default printer a list of files stored in a directory in file name sequence. These files maybe of any type - such as pdf or Office documents.
I have seen suggestions to using a process class (such as [URL]..However, the process would run largely unmonitored so I have concerns with regards to being able to control the submission of the numerous jobs to the printer and, for example, stopping the print should there be a failureerror in the print queue.

Any VB example of batch printing pdf files from a dos/windows subdirectory (with only Acrobat Reader installed)? I've got a folder full of pdf's (30 or 40) and I need to fire them off to the networked Laserjet. Also, is there a way in VB, to set the "full duplex" (double-sided) printing option for an HP Laserjet (PCL6)?

We have a customer, who prints a large number of a batch job to a reporting service. When printing large batches of jobs, occasionally he would get a WebException from reporting services saying "The underlying connection was closed".What is the work around for this? Somebody added this portion in the code [code]It doesn't seem to fix the issue though. The customer still notices the Web Exception when she prints a large job to reporting service.

I am busy writing a application that i can set up a list of files to copy from one location to a remote network drive.
THe program has a list of "jobs" in a datagrid that it loops through and executes in sequence. What i have now is a background worker that reports the status of which job it is on (File 1 of 5) but i would like something that shows the status of the current copying file as sometimes large files can look like it's stopped on the network
I am using the System.io.file.copy structure, but have also tried the my.computer.filesystem.copyfile (which shows the status in a "windows" copy box)
So, what i would like is some guidance on how to create a function that will copy the file but also report back progress periodicly. I don't want to read and write byte for byte as im worried this will be too slow.
Also, is there a better way/function to use to copy files? Looking for best speed

I've been developing an application that is basically a GUI for several batch files. You click on a button, and the corresponding batch file will run. I got it working in debug using this code:
Private Sub btnOpenFS_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpenFS.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("openfs.bat")
End Sub

I have an hta menu with selection buttons to run batch files. The files run okay, so this is purely a tidying up exercise. I want the command windows to either run silently, as background tasks, or minimized.

I am having trouble finding a code for visual basic 2010 (or 2008) that will compile batch files to a .exe format. (So they can no longer be edited.)So far I've only found one program that does this (And was made in Visual Studios) and the program doesn't even actually work due to some unknown error. It'd be a great help to get a source code or just told that this isn't even possible.

I have created tool which performs batch processing on files that are selected. The sub routine I have defined in the code, now I want to implement a way through which I can select actions that I want to perform and then perform the actions. For example the list has multiple actions, like Open, Close, SaveAs, Resize, Color Correct etc. I should be able to select what all I want to do on each file and then perform this actions. Someone suggested me using delegates for this, but I cant use that since all my functions have different parameters. Ither option I had is to use a nested IfElse or Switch to determine which action is selected and call function according to it, but thats to heavy I think, is there any optimized a better way to do this.???

I 'm trying to achieve is have 1 button that toggles between 2 batch files start/stop - when pressed the button calls for a batch file to start process - then if pressed again it calls for another batch file to stop the process. But it would be hand to have indicator or text on button stating the status.

I'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

I'm using the following sub to print files automatically:
Code:
Private Sub printFile(ByVal path As String)
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(path)
p.Verb = "print"
[code].....
It works great for text, Word, RTF, Excel, PDF, etc. However, images load by default with Windows Picture and Fax viewer and then don't print.It looks from the MSDN docs like I should be able to reset the default application assigned to the extensions and then maybe I could find another app that will print properly. And the OS acts like it's doing that. When I double-click on the file it does open with the new app. But when the above sub runs, it reverts back to trying to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.

I am using the adobe pdf control in my app to load a pdf file and I call the PrintAll method to print it. I then tried to loop through pdf files by loading and printing each. But it only prints one. It seems not to runi n synchronous mode. It done one and then is done because it did nto have time to load and print the others? Not sure.Does anyone know how to print multiple pdf files? I've already tried many codes I saw for calling the pdf with shellexecute and other ways but it does not work.

I'm having trouble many PDF files in the order that I send the print command using the following [Code]
It prints just fine other than it not being in the correct order. The only way I managed to get it in the correct order is by adding a timer and checking to see if there are any jobs in the print queue, which really slows down the printing process, especially when creating 500+ print jobs.
I was wondering if there is a better way to print these files, to where it will print fast and still be in order. A couple things I have in mind, but not sure if possible, is to create a text file or XML file that has the list of files to print and the quantity and queue the printer off that list or to convert PDF files to XPS documents and then using PrintQueue class to add the XPS file as a print job.

Is there a way to print PDF files within the .NET framework? I'd like to set up a directory to monitor and when files are copied there, the program prints the PDF file and deletes it. I just don't know how to handle the printing without using Adobe.

I have a VB.NET project in which it would be extremely helpful to the users if they would be able to print multiple .DWG files at the same time without manually opening each one and clicking on the print button.
Is this possible to do in VB.NET using the Autocad API's?

I'm trying to use my existing application to open tiff files for clients and staff in order to print or view the reports that we have scanned into our server. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a free, preferably open source library or wrapper for a library that will work in VB.NET running through Visual Studio 2005. Does anyone know of any open source/free implementations of this that I could adopt in my application?
