APIs for Printer Page number
View 2 RepliesI'm helping the IT department at my school do an audit of all our printers (there are hundreds). They are all networked, so I wrote a vb.net program that sends PJL (printer job language) commands over port 9100 to all the printers to retrieve the page count. @PJL INFO PAGECOUNT actually gets the page count for all the printers, but for color printers we also need to know the color / mono page counts (number of color pages printed, number of black and white pages printed).... the number being returned by the PAGECOUNT command right now seems to be the total pagecount on color printers, so if I can find a command that will give me either the mono or color page count, I'll have the other number. I also need the serial number of every machine (the spreadsheet I'm working off of is unreliable). @PJL INQUIRE SERIALNUMBER actually returns the serial number for about half of the HP printers, and some random non-HP ones, but I can't figure out a way to get the serial number for the other 50%. I sent emails to some of the people who wrote the articles about PJL I was following, and they advised I try using printer spooler functions (from my brief google search it would appear these are windows API's that facilitate communication with a printer).
Does anyone have any experience with working with the Printer Spooler functions or know a PJL command I might have overlooked that will help me get any of the info I'm looking for?here is my program right now. Ignore GetSerialNumber2 and GetSerialNumber3... they don't work (well actually GetSerialNumber2 works on 5 printers... but yea). GetSerialNumber() is the one that gets the serial number successfully for about half of the printers. (edit: I took out those functions in the version I posted, along with some other stuff that wasn't needed for this, to fit the post size limit)
I'm using Report Viewer(VS 2008) to make a report in VB.net. I add Table with Table Header, Table Detail, and Table Footer. Then insert a Table Group(table1_group1) and add expression =IntRowNumber Nothing-1/10 on that group. I check page breaks at end.
When I load the report its show normal :
page 1 : page header+ table header + table detail(10 list data) + page footer
page 2 : page header+ table header + table detail(5 list data) + table footer + page footer
But when I click Print Layout Icon its show an extra page(page 3):
page 1 : page header+ table header + table detail(10 list data) + page footer
page 2 : page header+ table header + table detail(5 list data) + page footer
page 3 : page header + table footer + page footer ( this is the error)
I also try to print the report and its print 3 page.
I am having a problem, my Printpreview is showing 2 pages, but only printing ONE.. Here is the code... PLEASE HELP.

I am trying to print an image (from file) to a the printer using a PrintDocument.I am re-sizing my image so that it is scaled to be full page on the printout when I print this the image is cropped slightly.
EDIT 2:I am using the margins to calculate the area to use:
With printSettings.DefaultPageSettings
Dim areaWidth As Single = .Bounds.Width - .Margins.Left - .Margins.Right
Dim areaHeight As Single = .Bounds.Height - .Margins.Top - .Margins.Bottom
End With
The bounds of the page are 1169x827 (A4) and with the margins it is 1137x795.After resize my image size is 1092x682 and I am using the following code to draw it:
e.Graphics.DrawImage(printBitmap, .Margins.Left, .Margins.Top)
The annoying thing is that when I print to the PrintPreviewDialog it is scaled perfectly but when I print the exact same code to the actual printer it does not fit.
EDIT 3:Full code can be found at this url Usage:
Dim clsPrint As New clsPrinting
With clsPrint
.Landscape = True

I am continuing a previous thread to keep it from becoming tooooooo long. I tried most of the helpful suggestions offered by kind forum contributors but can't seem to make them work. I tried to analyze somewhat but it's beyond my skill level. So a different approach was to try to incorporate the code in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage event of my application that prints acceptably, but only prints first page of multi page document. I had three somewhat different approaches offered by John Anthony Oliver, ACAMAR, and Crazy Pennie. I cut the code and placed in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage event code. All three approaches made the "Printing"message box page counter go wild without outputing to my printer. Family Man Mike suggested resetting the variables after the e.HasMorePages=false line. I tried that approach but couldn't make that work for me, I really don't comprehend but made an attempt such as num_of_pages = 0, startVal = 0, endVal = 0. That had no affect on the functionality.

I've checked through most of the nfo I can find in forums about scaling a picture, but still haven't stumbled over the answer. ALl I want to do is print my form on the printer. The problem is I don't know what monitor the form is being dispayed on and how big or small the user has madt it. I just want it to fit on the printer when it is printed. Basically I want it to, "Fit the Page".
I thought I could do it by using a rectangle and adjusting the size of the rectangle to fit the 8.5 x 11 paper, All this seems to do is magnify my form on the printed page and clips the sides and bottom of the form instead of making it "fit" on the page. What am I doing wrong?
Here is what I am using: Public MyForm As New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height) Private Sub ToolStripButton3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.Click
[Code]...
I have a form that uses the printer object and the print preview. A user clicks on a Print button, the preview comes up. This works fine the first time they do so, but if they click on this button more times, the output is overlaid ontop of the first report. The printer object is destroyed at the end of the print creation, and I have tried various other means to make sure that the page gets cleared without success.[code]

View 1 RepliesSome printers aren't actually printers e.g. CutePDF, PDF995 etc are printer drivers that "print" PDF files, and the built in fax support for Windows is through a printer driver that "prints" to the fax modem.
Both PDF and fax need a little bit more information than a normal print job - PDF needs a filename, Fax needs a phone number. Usually there is a pop-up dialog that prompts the user for the extra information.
Is there any way to set this information programmatically?
There is a property Printing.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName but this only seems to work when Printing.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile is set to TRUE, which is not the case in these situations (even though a PDF printer writes a file, it is not "save print job to file" in the normal sense).
I'm having issues with e.HasMorePages.. I've written a function that will plot long texts onto the printer and should insert a new page everytime yPos > PrintHeight

I can certainly add pages from the printpage, but my function will plot characters individually onto the printer and will increase ypos at the end of the printers width.

I have printer vendor provided SDK implementing that i can get printer DEVMODE or HDC with correct printer settings.
My questions is:
I am already using printDocument to print the image (System.Drawing.Bitmap). How can send use this HDC or DEVMOD with printDocument.
I already tried using the "PrintDocument.SetDevMode". it seems not be working.
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
