Set Printer Duplex Using 2008?
Mar 10, 2009I have a Canon IP500 printer on a Silex net print server. I have several XP and Vista computers that print to it.Some print jobs require duplex printing, some require single page.There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this built into Windows in any version that I have seen, other than opening the printer properties and changing the default before each print job, then going through the same steps to change it back, ---really awkward, and people goof it up all the time.I've been looking for code to do this, but all I find is VB6 or VBA samples that I can't get to work in vb.net 2008. One sample I got to compile OK, but it crashes--but it uses lots of API calls.I would think it would be trivial, but I find lots of people trying unsuccessfully to do the same thing.
View 9 RepliesChange The Settings Of The Printer Programmatically?

Change Actual Printer Settings To Landscape?
Jul 13, 2010I managed to print in landscape, however this setting is not being passed onto the printer driver, and when I click on 'preferences' in the printing dialog the printer seems to think that it is printing in portrait. Is there a way to change this in the code, without having to ask the user to do it?
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.

When Using MODI Printer / Sometimes It Prints 'blobs'
May 6, 2009I have written a VB.NET program to open a word document and generate a .TIF file by printing it using the MODI printer. Usually the documents print fine.

View 1 RepliesApplication That Prints Formatted Text To A Printer?
May 11, 2011Visual Studio 2005 I have an application that prints formatted text to a printer. I'm using the sample code from MSDN to impliment PrintDocument.PrintPage. My function for formatting the pages uses exactly the same code.
The problem is that the actual printout is off by one line. The footer from the first page prints at the top of the next page. Subsequent pages scroll down by one line for each page printed. If I reduce my formatted text lines by one, the opposite happens... the header from the second page prints at the bottom of the first page.
I've fussed with margin settings and fonts and I just can't seem to make it print pages correctly. I'm hoping that someone out there has seen this and can offer advice.

View 1 RepliesC# - Printing From WebBrowser Control Prints To Wrong Printer After Setting Default?
Apr 1, 2010I have a WebBrowser control in a VB.NET WinForms app. I am able to set the default printer from code and print without prompting the user. However, there is also a print button that shows the PrintDialog. If this action is done first the page will print.Then if I try to programmatically print later (again setting the default printer to some other printer) the it will print to the last printer selected in the PrintDialog box even though I am resetting the default and see the default printer being changed in Windows.It works fine unless ShowPrintDialog has a printer chosen first. Once that occurs it seems to always use that printer no matter what I do.

How To Get Names Of All Visible Excel Workbooks
May 4, 2011Trying to get names of all visible open excel workbooks. I found code online, that is below.I suspect the code is not working for me because either: I didn't include a reference (in addition to the MS Excel 12.0 Object reference and in addition to the Microsoft Office Interop reference, both were made) or something else basic being missed. i have been using the "early-bound" code below that is recognizing oExcelApp as visible...however, the open excel workbooks that I have open, are not being recognized.

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
