View 3 Repliesim 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 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
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.
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)?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to implement a custom printing solution for a client. What he wants is to have one button print a certain set of info to a specific printer and specific printer tray, connected to the client machine. Another button will print a similar set of info, to the same printer, but a different tray.
One tray is preloaded with regular 8.5"x11" paper, and the other is loaded with legal paper, 8.5"x14". I've found some instructions on how to do this: [URL]. So, I've implemented the code, and am able to enumerate the printers attached to the client machine, and their trays.
I've setup some web.config settings for the client to enter the names of his printer and specific trays (in this case, tray 1 and tray 3). This code I've written runs and works correctly, printing the document without error. The problem I am having is that even though I have selected the tray for legal paper, all the info instead prints on regular paper, the printer seems to be ignoring my instruction to print onto legal paper.
Here is the code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
....
Private printFont As Font
Private ds As dsSummons
Private formToPrint As FormType

I have printer vendor provided SDK implementing that i can get printer DEVMODE or HDC with correct printer settings.
My questions is:
I am already using printDocument to print the image (System.Drawing.Bitmap). How can send use this HDC or DEVMOD with printDocument.
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

View 2 RepliesI 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.
