C# and Multiple Printer Setup



Hi, I am looking for a good book or source of information on how to best
setup a multiple printer gui. The application I'm working on runs on a
server where each user has their own login. The application requires a
printer to be defined for "WorkOrders ", "Checks", "Invoices". Currently
these are all specified in an ini file in the active directory for each
user. I need to build a gui for the user to select which printer they
want to use for the above choices.

I have purchased many C#.Net books over the past six months and none of
them go into how to setup printers for a multi-user environment. Can
someone please point me towards a good book or some other info. on how
to best accomplish this task. My language of choice is c#. I'm not sure
exactly how Active Directory weighs in at what I'm trying to accomplish
here.

P.S. Some of these reports like "PayCheck" need to be sent directly to
the printer with No preview as to speed up the process of printing many
checks at one time.

Info: Our server is MSSQL 2000. We have our business application(Wri tten
in c#) on another server. Users connect to this server via RDC and each
users printers values are stored in an ini file for that user in
C:\Documents and Settings\user\A pplication Data

I really would like to know what the best practices and/or any viable
solution for this problem is.

Thanks So Much In Advance,
James

Hi, I've not done any programming for years, but I would like to write a simple program/script to help with something at work. We have several print servers for our 2000+ users, and whenever we have to rebuild a user profile we have to add the printers to this profile. The printers are on all print servers for built in redundancy, but it's a pain having to add each one several times. I want to write a simple program so that you enter the...

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a MS Access 2002 issue I'm having. Problem - I created a db in Access 97 which worked just fine for several years. In the db the user can generate reports straight to a printer after a query has run. The user of this db just got a new computer with Windows XP and Access 2002. Now when the user runs the report the following error message is displayed:

My C# app. apparently has problems with PageSettings not being initialized properly after calling PageSetupDialog. If a user selects a non-default printer from PageSetupDialog, the PageSize is apparently not-initialized properly. It appears to be printing to a very small page size and only prints a small piece of each page. Alternatively, if if a user selects the new printer, then user selects the paper size from the printer properties,...

Now, some of my reports, which were working fine with the old printer, are now showing up with an odd view (very enlarged) in preview. If I go to page setup, and choose specific printer to then look at the paper size listed in my default printer, it shows Hegaki Card 100mmX148mm instead of letter. It seems as...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
