View 1 RepliesI'm trying to check the printer status of a shared printer on a Win98 platform pc and need some samples to get started.
View 3 Replies1. 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

I have to drive files using different settings from the printer driver. Can I change the preferences & settings of the driver from a VB application? Right now I am using a VBScript, using key presses, to drive the files. I am developing an application using VB.net. I want to get away from the key stroke method. It takes to long to drive all of the files at the different printer driver settings.

View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble getting the objects of the PageSetupDialog and the PrintDialog to persist in my.settings Is there an example of this anywhere? Seems like it should be something there is a boiler plate for so I can see where I have gone wrong.Added a System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings and System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings entries in my.settings but even trying to save these form the results of the dialogs they show as nothing with out a error.
I 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 RepliesI 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.

I 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

View 2 RepliesI get the error mentioned when printing to a network printer.The error does not occur when run under XP/Win2003, in a WinForm app or when a local printer is used.The error does only occur when run as a Windows Service under Vista/Win7/Win2008 and printing to a network printer.The Windows service runs under a network user that has access to the network printer. Before I print I check if the printername (including network path) is ok by looping through the available printers.

printer1.print "This is a test line." ' This does not work, error message "Runtime error '438'" "Object doesn't support this property or method." also I get the same error message for printer1.EndDoc even though it is listed.
