 Topic: Script to select specific printerPosted: January 27 2004 at 5:31am |
|
I need to see a script that will select a specific printer instead of the default, while running my application, then switch back to the default when it is finished. Anyone?

Aw come on. there has to be a way to do it. IN accuterm you can screen print to whatever printer is chosen in the setup. I need a way to automatically select the printer I wan't. I don't want the end user to have to manually do this. There has to be a way. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

You can use a script to change the printer assignment in AccuTerm. First, you need the exact printer name used by Windows. To get the correct name, open an AccuTerm session, open the Settings dialog, select the Printer tab and select the specific printer you want. Click OK, then save the session file. Using Notepad, open the session file and look for the line that starts with Printer= and note the exact printer name.
In your host program, use the following script to assign the printer: PTR = '\\BUS\LAZER on Ne04:' PRINT CHAR(27) : CHAR(2) : 'P InitSession.PrinterName = "' : PTR : '"' : CHAR(13) : Use the actual name for your printer in the "PTR = " statement. You may need to add a SLEEP 1 statement after changing the name for older versions of AccuTerm. |

Hey! Thanks A million. I knew there was a way, and I tried a script I wrote but couldn't get past the errors. I am more familiar with a product called wintegrate. Here we use accuterm. Thanks again for your help, if this works, it has solved a huge potential human error factor!

Is there anyway I can, from the host, tell the AccuTerm client to invoke graphic print mode, and establish certain local printer driver settings (specifically Portrait/Landscape) prior to turning Slave-on and sending reports?

Hi All -
You can use a similar script to set any printer properties from the host. For example, to set the slave printer to Graphics mode, Landscape orienetation, use:
