ref : How To Send a PCL or PostScript File Directly to a Printer

notregister

ref : article ID 298141

Hi i have implement this part into my program, how do i recieve information
whether the printer has printed out correctly so that i can carry on to my
next phase?

is it all right if there is no indication on my windows when i start this
printing process, because it will be another week before i get my actual
printer. currently i have been testing it without a printer and when i run
the program, it would just end without showing anything, can i presume that
it would not show anyhting because it print directly to the printer bypassing
the driver?

Open FILE_NAME For Binary As #1

' Calculate size of file and amount left over.
NumLoops = LOF(1) \ MaxSize
LeftOver = LOF(1) Mod MaxSize

For i = 1 To NumLoops
sWrittenData = Input(MaxSize, #1)
lReturn = WritePrinter(lh Printer, ByVal sWrittenData, _
Len(sWrittenDat a), lpcWritten)
Next

' Grab what is left over.
If LeftOver <> 0 Then
sWrittenData = Input(LeftOver, #1)
lReturn = WritePrinter(lh Printer, ByVal sWrittenData, _
Len(sWrittenDat a), lpcWritten)
End If

Close #1
lReturn = EndDocPrinter(l hPrinter)
lReturn = ClosePrinter(lh Printer)

XML Vocabulary for PostScript

What I am looking to do is create a vocabulary which can carry all the information that a PostScript file carries to a custom developed interpreter that will rasterize it for print. The advantages this...

PHP/Windows - how do I send file to my printer?

In this case the real printer is an HP LaserJet 5100 with a JetDirect wireless server. My machine runs Windows XP. The printer, as well as being accessible through the usual print methods within applications, is available through its server...
