MikahS Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) I am just starting to use this UDF and I'm not sure if it's my sheer ignorance with this UDF or something that's missing, but I'm getting an error with _PrintSetPrinter(), which will not even bring up the dialog box to select the printer. Here's my code (tested): #include <printMGv2.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Local $hwnd, $hButton, $msg, $hp, $mmssgg $hwnd = GUICreate("Example") $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("click me to print", 20, 20) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Quit") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "Print") GUISetState() $hp = _PrintDLLStart($mmssgg) ; open the print dll While 1 WEnd Func Print() Local $selected If $hp = 0 Then ; if we couldn't open the dll MsgBox(0, "", "Error from dllstart = " & $mmssgg & @CRLF) ; tell us Return ; get out EndIf $selected = _PrintSetPrinter($hp) ; set the printer MsgBox(0, "", $selected) _PrintDLLClose($hp) ; close the dll EndFunc ;==>Print Func Quit() Exit EndFunc ;==>Quit Edited September 12, 2014 by MikahS Snips & Scripts My Snips: graphCPUTemp ~ getENVvarsMy Scripts: Short-Order Encrypter - message and file encryption V1.6.1 ~ AuPad - Notepad written entirely in AutoIt V1.9.4 Feel free to use any of my code for your own use.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted September 12, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2014 It works just fine for me. You're declaring variable $mmssgg, and you use it in your _PrintDLLStart function, but you never define it. You need to point it to the dll. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

MikahS Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 $mmssgg = "C:\Windows\System32\printMG.dll" Doesn't work, am I just stupid or what? hah Snips & Scripts My Snips: graphCPUTemp ~ getENVvarsMy Scripts: Short-Order Encrypter - message and file encryption V1.6.1 ~ AuPad - Notepad written entirely in AutoIt V1.9.4 Feel free to use any of my code for your own use.

MikahS Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Also, this is from Martin's example. #include 'printMGv2.au3' Global $hp Local $mmssgg,$marginx,$marginy $hp = _PrintDllStart($mmssgg);this must always be called first if $hp = 0 then consolewrite("Error from dllstart = " & $mmssgg & @CRLF) Exit endif MsgBox(0,'version of dll',_PrintVersion($hp,1)) ;MsgBox(0,'result from set printer = ',_PrintGetPrinter($hp));choose the printer if you don't want the default printer ;Exit ;$newselect = _PrintSelectPrinter($hp,"\\MOSAIC1\EPSON Stylus Photo 895") $newselect = _PrintSetPrinter($hp) MsgBox(0,'result from set printer = ',_PrintGetPrinter($hp));choose the printer if you don't want the default printer EDIT: This example works, which confuses me, as I took this almost word for word.

Solution BrewManNH Posted September 12, 2014 Solution Share Posted September 12, 2014 Don't put the DLL in the system32 folder, you would probably need to use #RequireAdmin if you do. Also, the first parameter for _PrintDLLStart is not the path to the file, it's the variable used to hold any error message, the second parameter of that function is where you'd need to put the file name and path to the DLL. By default, that function looks for the DLL in the script's folder. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

MikahS Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thank you BrewMan! I moved the .dll and changed the params around to let $mmssgg catch errors and a var $pathDLL to specify the path to the .dll. After that, it brought the dialog box up just as it is suppose to.
