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]

At this time I am using VBScript to drive files thru a printer driver. Each file has to be ran at all the different preferences the drivers can offer. (papersize, dpi, simplex/duplex, etc.). I am developing a VB application and I want to drive the files with the app. I want to make setting changes with my app. and then set the driver accordingly and run the files. When I finish I want to dynamiclly change the settings and then run the files again. Until I have driven them with all the different settings.

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.
View 6 RepliesTrying 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?
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to add a printer as part of my install and then remove that printer as part of the uninstall, and I'm not having much luck. I can add the printer using a shell command and the "printUI.dll" but when I try to use the addprinter() from the windows API, nothing happens. When I try to delete a test printer with the deleteprinter() function, it executes fine... but doesn't actually remove the printer. Everything I've been able to find on it seems to indicate that my code is right, but obviously I'm missing something because its not working.

View 4 RepliesFollowup to a previous post: It's been determined that Windows Device Drivers cannot be written in VB.NET; that's being dealt with separately.
What I'm interested to know here is if there's a DotNET Framework facility for adding/removing/managing device drivers; for example, can I build a VB.NET application to list loaded drivers, or drivers attached to a specific device, then load or unload those drivers as needed? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

The problem i am having is that it will not run on a machine that doesnt seem to have the correct drivers that its looking for. When i install ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio on the test VM it works just fine but thats a 230+mb file to download and install! Not to mention that if the user already has Oracle 10/11g on their machine that it may mess up their current connections/etc by installing that setup file.Is there another setup package that i can install that only has the Oracle Data Provider for .NET 2.0 11.2.0.2.0 or whatever its needing from that ODAC 11.2 Release 3 file.

Why would database drivers work in the development environment of VB.Net and not once the project is built and installed on the same pc? I've tried the MS ODBC Oracle driver. I've tried various ODBC datasources. All work when I am in the development environment but none once I build and install. No matter whether the configuration is Debug or Release. This is the only project having this problem. I have other apps (VB.Net) that access the same database (Oracle 9.2) with no problem.The environment variables are the same during both types of runs. The error messages vary depending upon the driver being used.

The printer drivers are not designed well and creates problems between version updates. When a customer calls in and compalins that are some communication problems, we have to login to their computer and remove printer, it's drivers and driver files that gets installed into system32 folder.
So, my goal was to have the customer download a file , run it and remove these files before they download the latest files.[code]...
I have a windows form application and also a exe application that both uses the same dll whic I place in the bin directory The dll is using crystal report and thus I need to reference com objects and other .net drivers. My question is following: Where should I put these references, in the class library (dll) or in the windows form / exe applications. If I put them in the dll, will they automatically be loaded when call the dll (entry point) or do I need to something else (create in installer etc)

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
