Vbscript - Remove Old Printers - Add New Printers
Sep 23, 2009Trying to write a Vbscript. Actually, I'm trying to modify an existing script that I found on the internet. I basically need the script to run on workstations, delete printers from our old print server (master), and install the corresponding printer from our new print server (dc01). I should also mention that the printer names have changes slightly. So far, the script does a great job of deleting printers from Master, but none of the corresponding dc01 printers are installed.
Here's the code:

View 1 RepliesHow To Determine PHYSICAL Key
Feb 14, 2011I want to hook the keyboard and make some actions (in vb.net) when a specific physical key is pressed.I have found online several excellent keyboard hook dlls, but there is a problem: the hook dlls find the keycode of the pressed keys, not what physical key is pressed.So, for example, in a USA keyboard if I press the key on the left of the Right-Shif key I see the e.keycode: 191 (OemQuestion), in a italian keyboard I see the e.keycode 189 (OemMinus).This means that if I put in My.Settings the code "189", an italian user can see that has to press the key I want, an USA user see another key to press to have the same action because on it keyboard the OemMinus key is not on the left of the Right-Shift key.now the question is: how to determine univocally the keyboard keys? What do I have to put in My.Settings that determinate a specific physical key, the same for all the keyboard languages?

Print To Text Only Printers From Program?
May 15, 2012I have what is basically a text only printer (a Zebra 105SL) connected to my network at a static IP address. I have downloaded Zebra's Text only driver for it and set up a print queue named "Zebra North Text". I can print to that queue from Notepad just fine.
However, I am trying to print from a VB 2005 (soon to be upgraded to VB 2010 or VB 11) application. All of the standard VB sample printing code assumes I need to render the text in Fonts, etc, which just confuses the Text Driver.[code]...

VS 2008 Small App To List And Add Printers?
Oct 9, 2009Am looking at making a small application that will list printers on two file servers at two separate sites, from this app they can add the printer/s to there local computer.
I have found a small application on the web but there are a few improvements it could do with.
They are; Show all local printers without having to click on a check box. Show sites printers without having to click on a check box. Show comments about the printer�s location other then just the site.
If it is possible I would like to update this one, but if there are any other examples where I could download something similar, or even some help with how to begin to create a new application.
Here are some screen shots, of the application form and the xml which holds the folder structure for the sites.

May 5, 2011I'm sure this is a common problem, but I haven't been able to find it.
I have a website and I want the user to be able to print a rectangle on their printer that is 3.5 inches x 2 inches. Exactly (within reason).
EDIT: To clarify - I'm looking to print a bunch of multicolored Text within a rectangle that needs to be a specific physical size. I also need to print specific shapes around some of the letters.
I'd looked into some of the .NET Printing stuff and found examples of measuring/drawing strings and shapes; but I didn't see anything that would let me specify a specific size.
