When you go to the Start button and then "Printers and Faxes" and you see a list of the printer objects defined on that PC. In my App VB.Net app I want to be ale to use a drop down box to display this list of printers and allow the user to select one of them.So, Not necessarily a list of printers on the Intranet that the user is connected to, only on their personal PC.
View 1 RepliesAm looking at making a small application that will list printers on two file servers at two separate sites, from this app they can add the printer/s to there local computer.
I have found a small application on the web but there are a few improvements it could do with.
They are; Show all local printers without having to click on a check box. Show sites printers without having to click on a check box. Show comments about the printer�s location other then just the site.
If it is possible I would like to update this one, but if there are any other examples where I could download something similar, or even some help with how to begin to create a new application.
Here are some screen shots, of the application form and the xml which holds the folder structure for the sites.
Trying to write a Vbscript. Actually, I'm trying to modify an existing script that I found on the internet. I basically need the script to run on workstations, delete printers from our old print server (master), and install the corresponding printer from our new print server (dc01). I should also mention that the printer names have changes slightly. So far, the script does a great job of deleting printers from Master, but none of the corresponding dc01 printers are installed.
Here's the code:

Im printing a document but i want the user to only be able to print from the Manual feed tray on a HP 2055dn printer.
i currently have ths code in place but is anyone able to tell me if it would work or not.
i was using a print dialogue box but changed my mind as i just want to print the document as soon as the button is pressed.
' Allow the user to choose the page range he or she would

I have multiple forms and reports with different print area. Some are designed to print to a thermal label printer and others to department shared printers. Currently the user is able to change the printer in print dialog box and print to differernt printers. I want to be able to create a form where the user can assign different printers for different jobs and not have to worry about it.
The problem is, i have never worked with printing function and my collegues arent too smart so I was wondering if someone can throw me ideas on where to start so i can start googling for it.

I have what is basically a text only printer (a Zebra 105SL) connected to my network at a static IP address. I have downloaded Zebra's Text only driver for it and set up a print queue named "Zebra North Text". I can print to that queue from Notepad just fine.
However, I am trying to print from a VB 2005 (soon to be upgraded to VB 2010 or VB 11) application. All of the standard VB sample printing code assumes I need to render the text in Fonts, etc, which just confuses the Text Driver.[code]...
I need to check all the printers of my faculty by sending a test page to everyone of them. And I want to do that with a little program in VB... All the printers are in the same server.

I have search this many times and found that most of the posts contain solutions that the original poster claims don't work The standard PrintProperties class does not handle a lot of printers who have specifictsks, eg a printer designed to pint on the face odf CD/DVD. I have found examples of how do this in VB6, but every examply I find for the versions of VB Basic after thet have comments that the solution provided did not persist the user chnges. Bow, come on, there has to be a way of displaying and persisting the user choises the dialog bog provided by the printer manufacturer!Terry

View 2 RepliesFrom my vb.net code I am trying to set a printer name for the crystal reports printing
rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName="johnKingHP LaserJet 2200 Series PCL"
But when I go to windows-->Start--> Run and enter JohnKing
It is showing me Printers and Faxes folder and Scheduled task folder. But when I open Printers and Faxes it will show the adderess as Printers and Faxes on JohnKing.
From my web application I want to sent the Printer name is the name shown above.
Some printers aren't actually printers e.g. CutePDF, PDF995 etc are printer drivers that "print" PDF files, and the built in fax support for Windows is through a printer driver that "prints" to the fax modem.
Both PDF and fax need a little bit more information than a normal print job - PDF needs a filename, Fax needs a phone number. Usually there is a pop-up dialog that prompts the user for the extra information.
Is there any way to set this information programmatically?
There is a property Printing.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName but this only seems to work when Printing.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile is set to TRUE, which is not the case in these situations (even though a PDF printer writes a file, it is not "save print job to file" in the normal sense).

View 5 RepliesI am using Excel 2003 (under XP) to print to several printers, with several different kinds and sizes of stock. My workbooks consist of two sheets: "Data" and "Print." "Data" should never be printed. "Print" is laid out with the proper spacing for a particular stock, and should not be sent to the wrong printer.
I want to use a BeforePrint event to check that the active printer is correct and that "Print" is the active sheet. If either of these tests fail, I want to cancel the print event and replace it with a new one.
Here is the problem I am experiencing: Upon opening Excel, all printers function normally. The first time a BeforePrint event is cancelled, Excel gloms onto the active printer and subsequently tries to use its driver for all other printers. In the Print dialog, every printer selected will show the model of the cancelled printer next to "Type" and its location next to "Where," and the Properties button will bring up the preference menu for the cancelled printer. It is still possible to print to the other printers,
but the settings for the cancelled printer will be used, even if they are incompatible. This persists until Excel is closed and reopened.
BeforePrint events that do not cancel do not result in this problem. Events that do nothing BUT cancel, on the other hand, do.
i have found some info on this but nothing i can use... im using vb.net to automate excel before i print the excel worksheet i need to change the printers setting to use the manual feed tray instead of the auto feed
View 2 RepliesII am trying to create a toggle button that switches a list to a range and then back to a list if needed. I am able to get it to do both but when I add an item to the list, convert to a range and then convert back to a list it leaves off the last items I entered.I tried to work in a code to select all cells but I must not be putting it in the right place.This is what I have so far:
ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(xlSrcRange, Range("$A$3:$AE$7"), , xlYes).Name = _
"List1"
I realize the problem is the $AE$7 (the $A$3 is correct)
In VS 2008, VB.Net, I am successful connecting to a local SQL Server (version 8) and seeing all tables/views/procedures in Server Explorer. The local OS is Win XP Pro SP3. I created an ODBC data source to a remote SQL server (also version 8) with a database of the same structure as the local one. The connection tests out ok. The remote computer runs Windows Server 2000 SP4. In the VS 2008 Server Explorer I add this ODBC source. When I click on the plus-signs to expand items, neither the tables nor the views show anything, whereas the full list of procedures appears. Is it the old SQL Server version? Is it the old Server OS version? Something else alltogether?
