PrintDoc vs Device

[cdid]

Is it possible to print on a Network Printer without installing it on the client machine???

I want to do it with no preview...

I have a Print server and a shared printer on it but not linked on my client machine

In dos I can do:

print /D:\\192.168.1.101\myprinter c:\test.txt

Thanks

In DOS using the print command, you send plain characters via network to the printer. In Windows, you create a print job by executing commands of the GDI (Graphics Device Interface). The GDI translates the calls into calls for device drivers (screen, printers, etc.). Therefore the answer to your question is: no, you need a device driver installed on your client.

Your questions are off-topic regarding VPE. But maybe someone else may want to answer your questions.

I want the preview
But when the user click on the print button, I dont want the setup dialog window

How can I do it?

I want an automatic printing on my printer device
VpeCtrl.device = '\\...my printer'

Is it possible to replace the print function of the print button by
My function with Device and PrintDoc(FALSE);

See the RequestPrint-event.

In the event handler return PRINT_ACTION_ABORT. Afterwards you can select the device, change any Device Control Properties and then call PrintDoc(False).

It is shipped with VPE, see the directoy "internet" in the installation directory of VPE. The code demonstrates how to catch an event sent by VPE.

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript FOR=VpeControl EVENT="RequestPrint(nAction, bCancel)">
   if (nAction == PRINT_MSG_END)
   {
      alert("User has printed the document.\nMoving now to final web page.");
      document.URL = "final.htm";
   }
</SCRIPT>
