Web Service - How To Write Text String Directly To Network Shared Printer
Jan 16, 2012
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
All i am trying to do is read and write files to a shared folder on a network in visual basic (VS 2010). I can go to the folder through windows without a problem and without being prompted for a password. However when i try to do it through visual basic, it cant find the directory. Here is my small snippet of code that i (hope) is telling me that the program cannot connect to the folder. [code] Are there any known issues with VS 2010 that may cause this? Maybe something else in my code that could have an effect? This is in my form_load event though, so it is literally one of the first things that runs.
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.
For my current application development I need direct printing technique,For the purpose I refer Microsoft Support page Titled"How to send raw data to a printer using VB.Net "The code snippnet specified is perfect for my application.Refers link [URL]But I need something more like Setting the Printer font to Condensed.By default my printer use the font 10cpi ,by using this font size I limited to print only 80char on A4 sheet,but I have more than 80 char on line so I prefer Condensed font size.
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.
I have a program needs to print directly to a Zebra TLP 2844-Z barcode printer.
I tried the codes in [url]... but an error occurred when i run it, as follows:
A call to PInvoke function 'test!test.RawPrinterHelper::OpenPrinter' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
May I ask if any one has any other idea of printing directly to printer in VB2005?
I'm making a program that has a "Print" button. I want it to open a PrintDialog, let the user select the printer they want to use, and print the contents in the RichTextBox/TextBox.
I have a process that does a lot of data manipulation and then prints a simple report directly to a printer. The overall priority is speed. Tens of thousands of records need to be scanned & processed individually so moving thru them quickly as possible is the goal.
Pseudo code 01)Scan Barcode 02)Fill DataSet from Sql Server 03)Manipulate data in dataset 04)Update data back to Sql Server 05)Print crystal report directly to printer; the dataset is the reports source 06)Clear dataset and start next record back at step one
The process if pretty complicated with a ton data manipulation and data coming from multiple sources but that part works super and in short all I am doing is scanning barcode, filling a dataset, passing it to a report and starting over. Steps 1 to 4 are averaging one tenth of a second (0.01) to complete; great. Passing it to the report to print takes several seconds which is the problem. I thought I would resolve this by passing the dataset to the report print sub - allowing the print sub to run on a background thread - and moving on to processing the next record.
Dim m_ds As MyTypedDataSet Sub ScanBarCode Fill DataSet Validate & Manipulate Data Call PrintReport Clear Dataset End Sub
I have been attempting to add the PrintReport sub to process on a background thread. The problem though is the main thread blows right by to the next step and clears the dataset; causing an error in the report sub. I've tried unsuccessfully just about everything I can think of; including using DataSet.Copy to local datasets (which I really don't want to keep recreating the same object over & over tens of thousands of times), as soon as the main dataset clears, all clear.
how to use vb code to code the crystal report viewer in the vb to print directly instead of view first before print from specific NAME of printer? i also need to ask how to set the printer name through in the vb code ??
I am trying to communicate with a Windows service on a remote machine on the network but i keep getting an exception saying the following: "System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'machine001'. This operation might require other priviledges. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied.
message error in server is: conversion from string "NETWORK SERVICE" to 'double' is not valid, the application in my local machine works perfectly, the problem is there in the server. so i can't find in the web what about the "NETWORK SERVICE".
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
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)?
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 am working in Microsoft Visual Studio 2003.I want to copy a file from one folder to another folder in php.
I written the code in vb.net and created exe. I called that exe in php.Exe is executed successfully in php and file is successfully copied for local path. But network path file is not copied. How can i able to copy the shared network file?
I wrote WCF method that check whether file is available or not. File is on the network drive. "\orl-avqaAVIPHist_Images2009h010109000379.fim"When I am checking file is available or not. Web service is returning me "file not found"let me know what should I do to fix it.
I'm working on my first VB2010 project, having used VB6 up to now.In VB6, I used some library functions to implement a treeview of network PCs and their shared folders.
I've been searching, but I've not found a way to get this done with VB2010.
I have found scode to return a list of all the devices local to my network....close but not what I'm looking for.
I am writing an app that does part of what another app does (I have no access to the source for the other app other than to see Wireshark output.)
I need to send a broadcast over the LAN and then parse the results. However, the sending of the broadcast seems to be code that is direct to the LAN connection, as in it doesn't seem to write to a standard IP/port combo.
I see apps like Raw Ether that do this at a cost of hundreds of dollars.
Is there some way to not have to buy 3rd party stuff to do this in VS2011 w/ VB.net?
