Hi,
I am trying to write code to be able to give user option to choose a
printer on the network before they can printer the job.

Thanks!

Characters Truncated Using Printer.Print
Hey there,
I'm printing to a network printer using Printer.Print and I am having my data truncated after the 86th byte. What's up with that???

Here is the line of code in question:

Printer.print strLine1(1) & Space(ADDRESSLEN - len(strLine1(1))) & strLine2(1) & Space(ADDRESSLEN2 - len(strLine2(1))) & strLine3(1) & Space(ADDRESSLEN2 - len(strLine3(1))) & strLine4(1)

Here is some example data contained in that line if I write it to file instead of the printer...

Printer.print Method Missing...
I'm missing tons of stuff from my VB6 app it seems. I just recovered my Common Dialog control thanks to this forum, now when I summon up Printer, the .Print method does not show up! This hasn't happened to me before.

Is there something I need to load? All the other Printer methods and properties seem to be there.

Thanks!

Why Isn't The Printer.Print Method Documented In VB6?
Anybody know? It seems to be the only way to print text directly to the printer, yet Printer.Print isn't included in the Printer context menu, it's not in the Object Browser, it's not listed as a valid method, nor is the Printer object in the Applies To list for the Print method. Is there another way you're supposed to print text? Anyone have any insight here?

Thanks,

Print Method Of Printer Object
This program are looking after pdf files in a directory. If a pdf file exists, it will find the size in strFormat (A4 or A3). By some other functions if finds the printer device name in strPrinterName.
So the problem is that I have to change the paper size, depending on the size found in strFormat. Look in the example.

This program is runing on a server, so there is no dialog...

Ex.
For i = 0 To Printers.Count - 1
If cSetPrinter.SetPrinterAsDefault(strPrinterName) Then
' This sets the printer as default
If strFormat = "A4" Or strFormat = "a4" Then
Printer.PaperSize = 9
Else
Printer.PaperSize = 8
End If
End if
Next

' Print out the PDF File
r = AcroExchAVDoc.printPages(0, (nMaxPage - 1), 1, 0, 1)

If I go to the Printer Settings and set the Paper size = "Letter Small, ..." ( = 2 !) and If I put the printer on pause..., and execute the program, the document in the printer queue will have the paper size = 2.

Please help...

Print Error 486: Can’t Print Image To This Type Of Printer
Hey all
Has anyone seen this error when trying to initiate printform? I am trying to printform in a loop and it gives me this error. The printall subroutine has my printform code. It works perfectly the first time but when it tries to move to the previous record and then print that one I get this error. I searched for information but only found one suggestion where someone suggested putting a time delay in there. I tried that and it still would not print the second time. Help please.......
Thanks so much

Guidelines For Form.Print And Printer.Print?
Hi,

Can somebody please provide some guidelines on when and where I can use the Form.Print and Printer.Print codes. I've just spent hours trying to understand what works and what doesn't I've tried to find information in the standard MS manuals and I have searched this site without much success.

Simply, I want to print out the value of some variables at various stages of program execution for debugging purposes. Actually there are many hundreds of values so I don't want to copy them from the screen onto paper manually.

Let's take a simple case

Printer.Print "Hello"
Printer.EndDoc

Seems straightforward and code like this is listed in many sources. It just would not work for me! The code would apparently execute but no printout appeared

This code was included in a Standard (.BAS) Module, but it just would not work.

I tried the same code in a Form subroutine and called it from the Form.Load event, but it still didn't work.

Finally, I called the same routine in the form from a Command Button - it worked - Hooray!

I put the subroutine back into the BAS module and called it from the same Command Button in the form but it no longer worked.

No error messages appeared anywhere

I found the same type of behavior with the Form.Print and associated codes.

Perhaps I'm being very dense here, but is this behaviour expected? If so, how can I print variable values from within .BAS modules?

Thank you to anybody who can shed light on this idiosyncratic behaviour.

Print Method Or Print #
Hello, vbcity forum-ers.

I would like to know how to do some things on the printer. Could you answer a couple of questions?

Can I use either the print method or the Print #... statement to print a box? Also, I need to print a box with a check or an 'X' in it. I need to print it on a line next to some text, similar to the what you see here where it says "Email Notification" and about that size.

In using the print method or the Print #... statement to a printer, is there any way to get a print preview?

Thanks.

Avoid Printer From Ejecting The Paper After The Last Line Printed? (VB - Printer.print)

How Can I Change The Default Printer At Runtime To Use It With Printer.print Command?
Hi everyone,
I have a little application which uses printer.print command to do some print jobs, of course there are some other things that I print using Data Reports.
When my application starts, I think it instantiates printer object with the default printer (lx300). Once the application is started, there are some options that use printer.print, but there are options that use printer.print too but I need to print them in another printer (ip1000). I have a common dialog that lets me choose the printer, and when I choose ip1000 every printer.print call goes to lx300. I assume there's no way to "reinstantiate" printer object to print in ip1000.
Also, when I close my application ip1000 becomes my default printer. Does the common dialog can select a printer without changing the Windows default printer like Word, Excel. do?

Thanks a lot for your help

Special Characters Don't Print

Print Method
I'm trying to use the .Print method for Printer, but that's not an available option. Is this because my default printer on my laptop is WinFax instead of an actual printer? I only have access to my printer when I'm on my network at home and I'm not at home most of the time I'm coding.

If this isn't the reason, am I supposed to reference some other Microsoft reference file? I'm fairly new to this, so the obvious may be escaping me.

Thanks.

Which Print Method To Use With VB 6
I am trying to determine which of these printing methods to use with VB 6:

(1) Printer Object    - This requires a lot of work but looks like it can be used with most printers.

(2) Data Reporter    - This is part of VB, but it produces a strange file [.TMP].

(3) Crystal Reports    - This is the copy that comes with VB [Version 4.6]  â€“ I hesitate to use it since this is an old version.
         â€“ Could this cause trouble if put on a machine with a newer version?

A Question About Print Method
Euhmm, here is another lame question. I want that my program writes some lines to a file, and that every line is on a new line.
E.G

open "C:file.txt" for output as #1
print #1, Line1, line2
close#1

this code example is how i use it now, but then it sets line2 after line1 at the same line in the file.txt
