Hi All,
I am at a loss. This is slightly OT because it concerns Windows and
HTML printing. I would like to print a HTML document from Python, but
not showing the printing dialog. After numerous searches and trials I
came to the conclusion that ShellExecute with the "print" command and
a HTML document simply always shows a print dialog, so that road is a
dead end (or unless someone can show me a snippet that does work).
I used win32com and I am able to print through he internet explorer
interface which seems to work, but quite unreliably. When I execute
the scipt too fast, nothing is printed at all. The method isBusy that
IE exposes through COM always returns False so there is no way to wait
reliably on the progress of the printer.
So basically my question is, does someone know a python lib or way to
print HTML to the default printer (I can get the printer name so even
that is not really needed) without showing the print dialog?
With regards,
- Jorgen

Did you try all the methods on Tim Golden's site? http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/print.html
I use the one at the bottom for PDFs. I never see a print dialog, but
it does leave Adobe running. If you're printing from Internet
Explorer, you might look at the PAMIE project. http://pamie.sourceforge.net/

In a Python 2.2 app. running under CGI the statements
print "Hello\n"
print "World"
print both words on the same line in IE6. How do I print the second one on a
new line (i.e. respect the \n in the first statement).
Many thanks!

Hi,
I am new to Python, so this may be a very simple question for most of
you. What does the % operator stand for in Python? I came across a
script that uses the % operator as follows -
def sync(delf,name):
os.popen3( 'P4 -s sync -f %s' % name)
I would suspect that this just replaces the %s with the value of name.

The pros and cons of making 'print' a function in Python 3.x are well
discussed at:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-September/056154.html
Alas, it appears that the effect of this pep would be to make it impossible
to use the name 'print' in a backward compatible manner. Indeed, if a
program is to compile in both Python 2.x and Python 3.x, the print function
(or the print statement with parentheses) can not use the...

PythonWin has been a very good ide from early version thru 2.4.
All work ok on THREE of my computers with THREE different HP printers.
Now comes 2.5.
Every thing seems to work the same except when I want to print out a copy of
the source code of my project (about 38 pages)
Version 2.5 acts like it is going to print out the source code but instead
prints from several 100 to over 2000 BLANK PAGES pages and no source.

I'm a beginner searching for an easy way to print the contents of a

1) using wxPython

HTML)
-use wx.Printout (Seems complicated; may be beyond my abilities)
2) create a text file and then print it out (can create but can only
