Schedule Printing And Check First If There Is Pending Job Before Printing?
Nov 2, 2009
I'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?
I need stop printing and paper feeding in the middle of printing in dot matrix printer.(Like a POS Printer - When wrote 'End Doc' on POS printer can stop paper feeding)
I am using VB 2008 & Access Databases for creating WinForm Applications. Also i am using Crystal Reports for Report solution. my question is How do i created reports such a way that they can be printed in faster Ascii Format on any DotMatrix printer. The default true type fonts make printing very slower.
I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.
I basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
I am setting up printing (to a printer or file) in my application, and it doesn't seem to print out any new lines that I specify. Here's some of my printing
' Loop through all of the text in the array For i = 0 To 9 If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
[Code]....
When I print the output to a PDF file using PDFCreator, it stacks all of the letters onto each other rather than creating new lines at the places I've specified. I've also tried using vbNewLine instead of vbCrLf, but I haven't had any luck. I searched the web for this but couldn't find anything about it.
The main issue here, whether the ZPL printer is on/off, the status always shows as "Ready", there is no change in the status.made use off couple codes which i googled, but none have turned out to show me the printer status.
Is there any other way to indentify the status of the ZPL printer/ any other alternative [url]...
How to check the printer status before printing the report. i am using print dialog to print the report. i want to check the printer is on or off or printer is ready before report is send to printer.
i want to insert a function that check the selected printer status when user click on the print button. if printer works fine then print report else alert the user to set the printer.
I'm using Visual Basic 2006 and i am printing with a third party application call NovaPDF. It works very well.NovaPDF works like any printer and i'm having no problem using it. The thing is that i don't want to queue printing document because i need to rename and change their location. Also NovaPDF append to file. So, what i want to do is : Do some kind of loop that the program will loop in until my printer is done printing everything.[code]....
I'm not asking for a code or anything, just some info about this.Would it be possible to make a .dot or .doc in word with the layout and such.And then let vb.net read the file and replace some words like <Name>, <Adress>and print the document out with the values name and adress your program sends to the document.
I have written a vb.net 2008 Express Edition application that pulls transaction history for customers from an iSeries. Everything appears to work as planned, except when you select to print Datagridview it prints the Date column as a DateTime instead of Date.When you are viewing the Datagridview in the VB.Net application it looks like it should.
On the iSeries the field with the date data is a decimal field with length of 7,0 with the following format CYYMMDD. In the VB.Net application the date portion is correct the time portion always is 12:00:00 AM due to i guess that it is picking up zero's somehow for time. Following is the code for the application.

I'm creating a small database program, and I want to print data. Such as bookings for this customer between this date and this date.My question is should I try to export to a word doc, or is there some function in VB.Net to pull and format info from a dataset?Or do I need to code something from scratch?
I am trying to use the printdocument object to print off a windows form, but at the moment, the printer just prints a blank sheet.. the code is executed when the print button is clicked:
Private Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click Dim printDialog1 As PrintDialog = New PrintDialog printDialog1.Document = PrintRewardsReceipt
This is pankaj, I am currently working on the printing project. Here I have creating a custom paper(height = 1000mm and width = 800mm) on the printer via code and then trying to print the text on a specific location (for example. top = 1cm and left = 1cm). It does not print the text After trying many time i found that printable area, created by the code, is not changed but it is changing height and width as custom paper i have given in the code. But still it's printable area remains the same as previous paper kindly reply
I'm trying to make a username and password type form and I was wondering how to make the password show up as the '*' character as the person types it? I would show you the code I have, because of the policy, but I don't think it is relevant.
I am working for a POS software, trying to print receipt. Getting an error "Method PrintNormal threw an exception. Cannot perform operation while device is disabled.",posdm.exe is telling device is enabled.
I am using-
POS for .NET v1.12 Visual Basic .Net 2008 WASP USB Thermal Printer with OPOS Driver
I have a form that allows the user to compare up to four different font styles by selecting the style from a ComboBox and then it changes the text within a textbox to view the font. What I am trying to do is allow the user to print preview the four different styles but I am coming up short. I think I am missing the DrawString functions somewhere? Everytine the preview window opens it says "Document does not contain any pages" Here is a snippet from the printing sub:
Private Sub PrintButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintButton.Click ' Print output on the printer.
I am creating an Income Survey project in VB and I'm having trouble with coding the printing. I am supposed to use the "e.drawstring" method to print. I need to print all the current elements in the array.
My question is, looking at the attached code, how do you print from my array? If you look at the last line of code, I get an error stating that: "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'DrawString' accepts this number of arguments."
My code/syntax is obviously incorrect. The incorrect code I used to print the array is at the bottom of the code, while the array information is near the top (not sure how much relevant code I need to show). [Code]
printing from VB in my program. I remember the old days in VB 6.0 using the print cpommand and creating reports from code. Now, everything seems to be Crystal Reports...In my project, we need to print designed labels, tub tags, etc. to a label printer. In our current software, we do this by sending an ASCII String to the label printer that prints the label. Is there a way for me to do this without having to use Crystal Reports? I want the user to just hit a button after choosing the number of labels to print and have it print automatically.
I have a form with one RichText Box int it. The lines in this are formatted differently that is, some lines are in bold letters, some are center aligned and also the font size are different. Currently I am using PrintDialog Box and Print Preview Dialog box to print the Contents of the RichText Box. The problem is when I preview the print contents everything will be displayed in a common font and aligned left.
Why did MS remove the easy way to print in VB2010. As a programmer, developing programs that used to print directly to the printer in VB 6, I find the new "funtionality" of printing with VB 2010 is a PITA. I used to be able to define my printout and code the information and then print the variables where I need to on the page.
so i have this program which prints out information inside a bunch of textboxes which i got to work out pretty nicely. it was brought to my attention one day that there was a user that could not print. they would hit the print button and nothing would come up, nothing. no print window or anything. i click it on my end and it works just fine. i try it on my laptops and i get nothing. come to find out that my windows is 32 bit on my desktop, whereas the versions that wont print are 64 bit windows.
i have a printing code which prints a listview however if a listview contains many columns it cuts the columns and will not print all the columns needed
