I need to create an exe in VS2010 with VB that does the same thing as a simple command line. The reason is related to debugging. I can type ECHO ~ > \WIN7MMF25$ in a command window on a W2K8R2E server and it will send the ~ character to the shared "printer" on the Win7 PC. Actually, the device is a cash drawer connected to LPT1 that pops open when it sees a ~ character.
Anyway, I created a CMD file with that command, saved it, fired it, and the cash drawer on the Win7 PC opens. However, when I try to call that command file from our ERP application, it doesn't work (it does work if the remote PC is XP, though - just not if it is Win7 or Vista).
Anyway, I was hoping if I created a simple EXE and called THAT from the ERP software, perhaps whatever issue is bugging us will not bug us anymore.
get a list of printer's (name,port,model) from a computer over the network. I know how to list my own, but it's from querying the Win32_printer object on my machine, I need to be able to do something similar on a remote machine.
Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:
I have a label printer (Argox 1000-x) and i want to print some datas on it. And this printer is connected to my computer via the COM1 port. I can open/write COM1. And when i send some data to printer through COM1, Label Printer's Ready Signal Led will be ON/OFF. But it does not print anything or any label..
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.
i'm quite new to VB see my code i'm not sure where i enter your code Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load RichTextBox1.Text = "I print My text here.'filling the richtextbox with some text that can be used readily End Sub
I want to get the default printer name with the network path. Because i am using the network printer as a default printer. So i need this in VB.NET or C#.Net.
i have tried to print pdf file through network. i have used printdocument. File is printed with no content. Content is not set to the printer. My code is
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
I am trying to print to a network printer from a web page. To do this I am using PrintDocument and some simple code that I found. When I run this code while debugging in visual studios it works fine but when I move it to our server (windows server 2003 - only happens on x64) it gives an invalid handle exception. I don't believe it is a connection problem with the printer because I am able to print while remotely logged on to the server and the error comes up when trying to print to a file as well.
Protected Sub Button1_Click() Handles Button1.Click myPrint = New PrintDocument() myPrint.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "\printserverprinter" myPrint.PrintController = New StandardPrintController() myPrint.Print() End Sub
We have large IBM Infoprint printers. I need to read a bunch of PDF files off a database, merge them together, and send it to one of these printers. I need to be able to specify many options such as what tray to use, with/without staple, etc. All of these options can be manually set when I try to print something off my computer (via the advanced print driver preferences), so I am certain that these can also be set programmatically. How can I do this in .NET (Visual Basic)?
how to know print given to newtwork printer is sucees or fail.Using WMI methods i am checking printer status..but after PrintDocument.Print() calling, how can i know print is success or fail.
I have a web service that is currently calling the DOS command copy to put a text file to a specified network share.
This is the code: Imports System.Web.Services Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols Imports System.ComponentModel Imports System.Data Imports System.IO Imports System.Xml [Code] .....
It appears doing this might be causing some problems and our front-end programmer suggested I see if I can output the stream "output" directly to the network shared printer specified by the SOAP request. Is this possible? This is VS 2010
Isn't there a way to send an MS Word doc to a printer in VB.net? We generate dozens of Word docs for our clients daily, and would like to create a simple app that will list the files in a selected folder and allow them to highlight as few or as many as they want and send them to their default printer.
My printer is a ZEBRA TLP 3742, and dont have memory for graphics, so i've printed the label to a .prn file where I can see commands, and write them in VB commands
The graphic part of the file is in HEX I think, so how can I send it to the printer ? i've tried by "print.Write" but dont work since it wants a String [code]...
there is a possibility to send Files to a printer which is connected to a virtual LPTx, e.g. "copy filename lpt1". Is it possible to make this WITHOUT a LPTx? A solution in vbScript would be great, but VB is also OK.
I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question but it seemed like the most applicable. I am using VBA to create a barcode label application that sends a series of ZPL (Zebra programming language) commands to a USB printer.I need this program to be stand alone in the sense that the Excel 2007 workbook that I am embedding the macro in and the printer driver are the only software that will be required to sucessfully run this program on various computers that have Excel 2007 installed. Additionally I need this program to work directly with the USB port and not a serial/ usb converter. Can someone help me, or direct me to help, to perform this kind of operation? I used to be able to read and write to serial/ parallel ports and haven't worked with USB from a programming perspective.

My company has a Eltron 2543 thermal printer. I'm developing an VB.NET application incorporating FedEx web services to print off shipping labels.I can save off the data file without a problem, but I was wondering how I send this data stream to a shared printer on a network. Do I need to include the Eltron 2543 driver in my solution? I've tried haven't work so I guess I'm looking for an expert who has dealt with printers (particularly thermal) to get me moving in the right direction.
I need to be able to send a PostScript file to a printer specified by the user. I am using a print dialog box to get the printer the user selects but now I need a way to send a PostScript file to that printer. I am able to send a PostScript file to a printer right now, but it only sends the file to the printer that was last selected. I am using Ghostview to view the PS file and to print it. This is why the file prints to the last printer selected.
Here is the code I am using to print the file in Ghostview:
If PrintDialog.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo() p.Arguments = PrintDialog.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
I never used the printingdocument class, and i need some info to know if i can do what i'm thinking.I need to send some text from one textbox directly to one printer (i doesn't have to be the default printer), the user just have to push the button in the form, and the text gets printed. I don't need (want), the print preview and the form with the printers list.
Here at work we send straightup text documents to a Genicom, continuous feed, dot-matrix printer and we use the following code in Visual Fox Pro:
RUN COPY *.353+*.360+*.362+*.354+*.825+*.MSL+*.XMS+*.PQR+*.PJS+*.AJS lpt2 I'm having trouble how to accomplish the same thing: simply sending the files to the print queue.
I have a Zebra TLP 2844 Printer connected by USB to my computer. I want to send EPL Commands from Visual Basic .Net to the printer through the USB Port wich the printer is connected to. USB is a Serial port but IT IS NOT COM PORT. So, I don't want the method of connecting the COM port with VB.Net. I want a USB method or any helpfull idea or code.
I searched the net for many days but no solution was found.
Briefly, I want to print to Zebra TLP 2844 from Vb.Net over USB port.
I have an application where i have to schedule some msg to my network users and as per the sheduler msg should be popup on their machine on local network.
below is my code for copying an image from a form to send it to the printer.it works but it tends to be a little blurry. is there anyway to make it sharper?
Bmp = New Bitmap(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height) Bmp = New Bitmap(800, 500) Dim G As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(Bmp) G.CopyFromScreen(Me.PointToScreen(Me.ClientRectangle.Location), New Point(0, 0), Me.ClientSize)
For the SendKeys, is it possible to 'send' a non-character key? I want to send a direction key (Left direction key) whilst a textbox is in focus so it moves the bar left along the characters, so that - for example:
Code: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click TextBox1.Focus()
I have never programmed a network program before and would like to learn at my own pace. Also I am not asking anyone to write this complete program for me, just bits of code to help me write a complete program. (though if you do code it all I won't complain.) I already tried using internet tutorials but none of them seem to work.I am trying to program a simple form with 4 buttons, and 2 users.The first button is a connectivity button. "Green" for connected, "Red" for not.The second button is a "Connect" Button which will connect to another computer with this program installed/active. (I want it as simple as possible)and the next 2 buttons switch between "1" and "0" depending on user input(Default "0"). the first button is the local user button and the second is the remote user button. When the local user clicks the local button then what he/she changes it to will be displayed at the remote site. The same thing will happen with the remote user.
I know how to place all the buttons where they belong, and to change the local text, but I have no Idea how to connect to a remote program or to pass messages between the two users. Can anyone suggest some Simple code to do this. (something that I will be able to learn and use to make more complex code later on.)
