Error connecting to . The RPC server is too busy to complete this operation. [1723]

[budinsky]

I have an annoying popup whenever I print something at work and if I don't press Print on the popup it doesn't print my files.

This script solves that problem:

----START

$var = 1

While $var = 1

Sleep(2000)

WinWaitActive("Print job billing")

Send("!p")

Wend

; Finished!

----END

Problem is I sometimes get this error 'Error connecting to . The RPC server is too busy to complete this operation. [1723]'

Why does this happen and what can I do to fix it?

I tried to make AutoIt wait thinking that would help but it just made it worse.

It reproduced the error instantly so I included the code below so that you can see the error and hopefully tell me what I have done wrong. Thanks

$var = 1

While $var = 1

Sleep(2000)

WinWait("Print job billing")

WinActivate("Print job billing")

Send("!p")

Wend

; Finished!

Ah .. printer problems .. gotta love 'em.

Let me take a wild guess .. HP?

50/50 shot - oh well ...

Is that an AutoIt error or your printer software giving the error?

Try running this with Notepad -- does it give the same error?

Run('Notepad.exe')
While 1
    Sleep(2000)
    If WinActive('Untitled - Notepad') Then
        Send("^p")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd
Exit

Edit - Scratch that

One thing I noticed about your script -- it's sending "!p" every 2 seconds.

He is using WinWaitActive() so it shouldn't keep pressing !p every 2 seconds unless the window is active.

umm .. look at the code again - please

OK, I looked again. Yep, still using WinWaitActive() in the top version, and WinWait() in the second post version.

Both WinWaitActive() and WinWait() "Pauses execution of the script"

oops .. I misread it.

Probably because I don't use those functions.

No worries
