VS 2008 Printer Spooler - Retrieving Page Count And Serial Number?
Mar 4, 2010
I'm helping the IT department at my school do an audit of all our printers (there are hundreds). They are all networked, so I wrote a vb.net program that sends PJL (printer job language) commands over port 9100 to all the printers to retrieve the page count. @PJL INFO PAGECOUNT actually gets the page count for all the printers, but for color printers we also need to know the color / mono page counts (number of color pages printed, number of black and white pages printed).... the number being returned by the PAGECOUNT command right now seems to be the total pagecount on color printers, so if I can find a command that will give me either the mono or color page count, I'll have the other number. I also need the serial number of every machine (the spreadsheet I'm working off of is unreliable). @PJL INQUIRE SERIALNUMBER actually returns the serial number for about half of the HP printers, and some random non-HP ones, but I can't figure out a way to get the serial number for the other 50%. I sent emails to some of the people who wrote the articles about PJL I was following, and they advised I try using printer spooler functions (from my brief google search it would appear these are windows API's that facilitate communication with a printer).
Does anyone have any experience with working with the Printer Spooler functions or know a PJL command I might have overlooked that will help me get any of the info I'm looking for?here is my program right now. Ignore GetSerialNumber2 and GetSerialNumber3... they don't work (well actually GetSerialNumber2 works on 5 printers... but yea). GetSerialNumber() is the one that gets the serial number successfully for about half of the printers. (edit: I took out those functions in the version I posted, along with some other stuff that wasn't needed for this, to fit the post size limit)

I made my program and now I just need to add in the serial and trial part of the application. I know the application must connect to the host and go to a txtfile. How would i do the trial and serial. Also If the serial is already activated I want the application to reject that Serial and Count how many times they entered in a wrong serial.

I am currently redeveloping my web browser application using the axWebBrowser component. I have, up to now, managed to port most of the code from my previous application, which used the standard webbrowser component. How would I retrieve a list of links from the current web page displayed in the axWebBrowser and display them in the DataGridView? The following code from my previous application is giving me an error. [Code]

I have some reports that I use with the MS ReportViewer and I need to get a count of the physical pages (as opposed to logical page count) to use with a print dialog. I've implemented a workaround so the ReportViewer control displays the correct number of physical pages, but is there a way to get that value from the ReportViewer control? The only publicly accessible property gives the logical page count.

designing a Windows based computer program that will allow a user to enter some number (n) and a choice of a count up or count down for that many numbers. So for example, the user enters 5 as their number and selects the count down option, the message box displayed would contain the message: "Here are your numbers: 5,4,3,2,1,0"

My Dad made an application which had a feature that i want, basically his programme reads the users hard drive serial number and then multiplies it by say 12 and then divides it by 7 for example. This number is then shown as a 'Authorisation Code' which the user has to email to him and then his breaks it back down to the original hard drive serial number which he sends back which is the application serial number to activate it. I want to know how to read the actual hard drive serial number or a number that every computer has so i can do the same but i have searched everywhere and cannot find any examples for VB 2008 apart from one which didn't work

I am continuing a previous thread to keep it from becoming tooooooo long. I tried most of the helpful suggestions offered by kind forum contributors but can't seem to make them work. I tried to analyze somewhat but it's beyond my skill level. So a different approach was to try to incorporate the code in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage event of my application that prints acceptably, but only prints first page of multi page document. I had three somewhat different approaches offered by John Anthony Oliver, ACAMAR, and Crazy Pennie. I cut the code and placed in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage event code. All three approaches made the "Printing"message box page counter go wild without outputing to my printer. Family Man Mike suggested resetting the variables after the e.HasMorePages=false line. I tried that approach but couldn't make that work for me, I really don't comprehend but made an attempt such as num_of_pages = 0, startVal = 0, endVal = 0. That had no affect on the functionality.

I've checked through most of the nfo I can find in forums about scaling a picture, but still haven't stumbled over the answer. ALl I want to do is print my form on the printer. The problem is I don't know what monitor the form is being dispayed on and how big or small the user has madt it. I just want it to fit on the printer when it is printed. Basically I want it to, "Fit the Page".
I thought I could do it by using a rectangle and adjusting the size of the rectangle to fit the 8.5 x 11 paper, All this seems to do is magnify my form on the printed page and clips the sides and bottom of the form instead of making it "fit" on the page. What am I doing wrong?
Here is what I am using: Public MyForm As New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height) Private Sub ToolStripButton3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.Click

I have a form that uses the printer object and the print preview. A user clicks on a Print button, the preview comes up. This works fine the first time they do so, but if they click on this button more times, the output is overlaid ontop of the first report. The printer object is destroyed at the end of the print creation, and I have tried various other means to make sure that the page gets cleared without success.[code]
