Hi,
Attached is the code . I want my program to save the current printer
job properties and , when I reconnect the printer at a latter date , i
need to print the saved job . Can you please help with my code ? How
to print a document at a later stage and any errors in my code ?
import win32ui
import win32con
myprinter_name = ""
# get the name from your Printers folder
printer_properties=[]
def save():
pHandle = win32print.OpenPrinter(myprinter_name)
properties = win32print.GetPrinter(pHandle, 2)
pDevModeObj = properties["pDevMode"]
printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.FormName)
printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.PaperSize)
printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.Orientation)
printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.Color)
printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.Copies)
printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.DefaultSource)
win32print.ClosePrinter(pHandle)
def apply():
hprinter = win32print.OpenPrinter(myprinter_name)
devmode = win32print.GetPrinter(hprinter, 2)["pDevMode"]
devmode.FormName=printer_properties[0]
devmode.PaperSize=printer_properties[1]
devmode.Orientation=printer_properties[2]
devmode.Color=printer_properties[3]
devmode.Copies=printer_properties[4]
devmode.DefaultSource=printer_properties[5]
hdc = win32gui.CreateDC("WinPrint",myprinter_name,devmode)
dc = win32ui.CreateDCFromHandle(hdc)
dc.StartDoc('My Python Document')
dc.StartPage()
dc.EndPage()
dc.EndDoc()
del dc
You help is greatly appreciated.
