View 5 RepliesChange Some Printer Settings Using The Win32 Api OpenPrinter?
Aug 30, 2010I try to change some printer settings using the win32 api OpenPrinter,GetPrinter and SetPrinter in VB.Net application.I copied most of the code from this or related newsgroups. However, OpenPrinter, GetPrinter and ClosePrinter works so far but I cannot change the printer settings. SetPrinter returns the error code ACCESS DENIED. I know I have to deal with the desired access mask in the _DEFAULT_PRINTER structure when calling OpenPrinter. Unfortunaltely the declaration of the DEFAULT_PRINTER structure or class I found on the internet doesn't work with the OpenPrinter function.

Setting Printer Driver Default Settings?
Apr 24, 2012I 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 would also like to be able to have the ability to accumulate one or more different reports and save them to a file for later conversion to PDF or to use the XPS print driver to print them.
When I check the "print to file" box (for a regular laser printer or the XPS print driver), and click "Print", I do not get an Open File dialog as this article suggests I should [URL]. The operation seems to proceed normally, but I have no idea where to find the file, if in fact one is created.

Printer Stuff - Detect If My Printer Is Busy ?
Mar 18, 20111. 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
Printing Range Of Pages With PrintDialog?
Aug 18, 2005In my code I have a PrintDialog that allows the user to select a page range to print (the AllowSomePages property is set to true), but when a range is selected (ex: pages 2-3) in the dialog it still print all the pages in the document. I've been following the API documentation as well as articles/tutorials online but I still can't get it to work. Multiple copies print fine. Print to File works fine. Just the page range doesn't work.
I've tried manually setting the ToPage and FromPage members in the PrintDocument's PrinterSettings and DefaultPrinterSettings members as well as in the PrintDialog's PrinterSettings member. I've also set the MinimumPages and MaximumPages in each one with no success.
Here's some test code I've been trying to solve the problem with (...well the latest version anyway). The code is on a WinForm with one button (Button2).
