Is it possible to retrieve the paper width from a printer?
To be more specific, I have a Savin 2400WD (wide format printer). It is
used for printing blueprints. This printer holds two (2) 500' rolls of
paper. On the two (2) rolls, there could be any two (2) combinations of
the following sizes (widths) >>> 24", 30" or 36".
I'd like to be able to retrieve which two (2) paper sizes are
currently loaded (before I send a print job to it).
I've made a program using Python and the Windows extensions to print out
the blueprints (and that works great), but if the wrong size paper is in
the machine (when I send a job in) it's obviously not so great :-(
Does anyone know if it's possible to get this info?
I'm using:
Windows 2000 Pro & XP Pro
Python 2.4
Pywin32 Build 204
Thanks,
Bill
