If an escape character (or most other characters < 0x20) is sent to the generic / text only printer it gets printed as a period. Using the code in the WinDDK is it possible to 'correct' this behaviour so that it passes it through unmodified? The general scenario for this is that some application ('user app') outputs a document to a win...
I need some help in building printer driver. The printer connects to system via serial port. I just need to grab the data that application sends to the printer, compress it (its a custom routine) and send it to printer. I do not have any experience in developing drivers. I have all the tools, SDK, DDK. If someone could point out some li...
This is the same as this question, with one remark: We manage to get the printerSettings modified, but how can we save them back as the default printer settings? (the original question does not post/answer this) The code I'm using right now: <DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="DocumentPropertiesW", SetLastError:=True, _ ExactSp...
I find myself adding debugging "print" statements quite often -- stuff like this: print("a_variable_name: %s" % a_variable_name) How do you all do that? Am I being neurotic in trying to find a way to optimize this? I may be working on a function and put in a half-dozen or so of those lines, figure out why it's not working, and then cu...
In Mozilla, applying a css rule like -moz-column-count: 2; gets you 2 columns that are the full height of the page. From what their MDC suggests, this is called "Height Balancing". Webkit has something similar: -webkit-column-count: 2; I'm not completely sure if Webkit has "Height Balancing" or not (this may be the root of my pro...
I don't have any background in programming and this is my first shot. I wrote a Delphi program that is supposed to print on a result sheet. I work in an institute and we have to establish hundreds of result sheets every 2 months. It's really difficult to do that and different handwriting is also an important issue. I have this code: if ...
I am trying to programmatically select a different media tray using Java Printing API. However, my document always gets printed to the default (TOP) media tray.

So in assembly I declare the following String: Sample db "This is a sample string",0 In GDB I type "p Sample" (without quotes) and it spits out 0x73696854. I want the actual String to print out.

Currently, what I'm doing is this: Using the built-in .NET PrintPreviewDialog Attaching my own Click handler to the Print button, which allows for the user to select the printer before finally printing. This all WORKS, HOWEVER, the OnprintToolStripButtonClick event is still sending the document to the default printer BEFORE the user ...
I'm looking for a good tool for printing Invoices, Receipts and similar documents in Java Swing. I have tried JasperReports but it is pretty hard to get a dynamic layout and it is designing for reports. A requirement that I have is that the document should be sent directly to the printer and must not be saved to a file. So some tools th...

I'm using Windows API's EnumJobs to find the PageCount and Copies of a print job, but I found that these fields are almost always zero when called on a print server. Although it could be my timing is out, because the number of pages increment as the job prints and once it's done the print job cannot be accessed. So there is about half a...
