Printer Stuff - Detect If My Printer Is Busy ?
Mar 18, 2011
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

I'd like to be able to specify two different printers for two different jobs. I'm using the following class to handle printing these, but regardless of what I do, the default printer is always the one that's printed to.[code]If I inspect my PrinterSettings attribute immediately before the call to DrawString, the PrinterName attribute is still correctly set to the printer I specify, but it's still the default printer that kicks out the job.

I have a COM component written in C++ that has a Print function. This print function takes the Printer hDC as a parameter that includes all settings to use for the print. Previously, this was called from VB6 code, and Printer.hdc would work here after setting everything on the Printer object.ject?

I know this says not for VB6, however there does not seem to be a forum for VB6. I have VB6 and Access. I want to print to a printer.There is a Printer class with many properties such as line draw, page, orientation, EndDoc etc. It does not have a print option. All documentation I have been able to find is like this
Dim printer1 as printer
set printer1 = Priinters(2)
printer1.print "This is a test line." ' This does not work, error message "Runtime error '438'" "Object doesn't support this property or method." also I get the same error message for printer1.EndDoc even though it is listed.

I'm using Visual Basic 2006 and i am printing with a third party application call NovaPDF. It works very well.NovaPDF works like any printer and i'm having no problem using it.

So, what i want to do is : Do some kind of loop that the program will loop in until my printer is done printing everything.[code]....

Try
Dim rptt As String = "The receipt is mine"
Dim ss As System.IO.StreamWriter
[Code].....
The text, The reciept is mine, is written to a file called Receipt.txt as required. and a command is given to the printer but the printer does not print characters on the paper as the paper rolls out of the printer during printing process.

I am using the PDF control from Adobe to view and print pdf documents and works well. I am setting the default printer prior to printing and then call Print. I need to change this where I do not change the default printer due to a conflict with another program. But I cannot see where I can set the printer only for printing from this control. I do not want to use a dialog because it does have a PrintWithDialog option. Is there any other way to do this without the dialog?

I am using vb 2005 and need help with trying to do the following :A Form that has a combo box , a listview and 2 command buttons( When the form loads ) i need the combo box to be enumerated with the printers that are on my server ( so will need to connect to my server which is obviously a remote machine ).Then when ever I select a printer from the combo box, it enumerates the listview with any print jobs that are in that printers que and I am able to select either one or multiple print jobs and click on the cancel print job button ( which will cancel any selected print jobs ) or click the cancel all button which will just delete any print jobs in that printers que.I know this is a lot to ask but even if I could just get an example of how to enumerate the printers into the combobox and get the listview to display the print jobs ( If any exist ) for that specific printer.That would be great.

I'm using the PrintPreviewDialog. Works great, but I really need to allow the user to select a printer instead of just having the print go directly to the default printer. Any ideas on this? Can't believe it isn't default functionality in the control.

im making an application and i need to install a printer in a computer. The application im trying to do is a client-server application so the idea is that the server send the instruction to the client telling him what to do and then the client will do it, in this case it will go to a SAMBA directory and it will get the drivers for the printer model from there and after that it will install the printer, everything in silent mode.

In VB 2008;
I have seen a couple of printing tools in VB 2008; I do not know how to use them?
I have a form (Form A) which collects data from other forms.
Form A is a certificate, how do I with a button click print this form (Form A - certificate)?
Go straight to default printer? Or allow the user to select a printer?

Does someone has already printed to a printronix printer (serie t5000r) using .NET (visual basic or C#) ? We already have the file (txt) with the code to generate the label until I know the code it's PGL. What've done was to use file.copy() to send the file to the LPT1 port (we use this method with Zebra printers and it works fine) but the printer print plain text instead of the label with it's format (barcode, titles, etc).

I have a vb.net app that uses PrintPreviewDialog to print a document. Now I want the user to be able to print to any printer on the network. So, I created a listbox of available printers which works fine. Now, I need to either change the windows default printer to the one selected, or make the PrintPreviewDialog use that printer name.
