Printing in Harbour

[Swaroop Joshi]

With the Help of Harbour i have converted my Clipper Software to 64 Bit Compatible Dos Software and is running fine

But the Problem is when i give Print with the help of Dos2usb 2.2  it prints after i close the program.

Even in Win7 32 bit, Print from New Software comes after closing the program. 

But the old clipper software prints fine in WIN7 32 bit via Dos2usb 2.2

Please Help me, Thanks in Advance

As far as I can see on the web, Dos2Usb captures print jobs from LPT
ports and sends them to a USB printer. So there seems to be a
redirection of one or more LPT ports in your system to accomplish that.

The problem "it prints after i close the program" is common where
network redirection is involved and not correctly configured, so LPT1 is
pointing to a virtual port which is pointing back to LPT1, in a circle.
That circle is broken after exiting the program so the print job can
find the real printer. The fact that Dos2Usb captures LPT ports makes me
suspect that your problem is similar. So what I would suggest is that
you investigate if you in fact have a circular redirection in your
system, and that maybe your solution is to print to LPT2 or LPT3 instead
of LPT1 and let Dos2Usb capture that. Usually, with one physical LPT
port in the computer, that port is LPT1, but LPT2 and LPT3 do not exist
as physical ports and thus cannot cause circular redirection.

Klas

Hi, I've sent you an email now.

[Swaroop Joshi]

HI, i have not recd email

I had the same problem many years ago. You could change dos2usb with prtwin. Very similar. 

Or you should use win_Prn() 

Diego.

try editing system registry with these steps 

open registry with regedit

press F3 (open search of regedit)
type lpt_timeout

you will find one keys there 

change value from 15 to 1 and save 

press again F3

it will jump to another key 

change it too to 1 from 15 

and close registry editor 

(hopefully your problem will be solved)

[Swaroop Joshi]

Actually LPT_timeout is usefull in Wndows XP in Windows-7 32 bit LPT-timeout is already 1

[Koshal Agarwal]

are u using DMP draft mode or USB printer 

if laser or DJet then you may rewrite reports in Harbour with great flexibility then clipper  it hardly takes 20 min to rewrite report to harbour format by using it you may not need to use dos2usb or dosprn too

Hi Swaroop,

 

You can use the following generic function to print directly.

Please modify it to suit your purpose.

 

HTH,

 

Warm regards,

Just on a hunch; try seeing eof followed by an eject page ASCII code (chr(12) after sending your print job.  See if that does the trick.

Reinaldo.

[matt johnson]

try "set printer to"  (twice ) will force print job to close .

[Swaroop Joshi]

Hi,

Hi,

I did not give you permission to use Pagescript32 as a commercial library in this project, i offer Pagescript as free library

NOT for using it in you're own print/pdf library.

Hello,

 

Please download from the updated link below.  Minor changes were required by one of the users and hence the file was modified a little and the link changed.
