Hello Martin,

I'll check what gets downloaded because it looks like I've messed up somewhere. EDIT Yes. I have changed the download to correct the fact that the UDF was an old version and had various things missing. I can't edit my old posts for some reason so get the corrected version from here.

Or get the udf here (will be removed from this post once I can change the first post OK)

Thank you very much for your help. I will test it and let you know.

EDIT: Sorry, in the ZIP file there is still the old version of the UDF ...

Best regards

TheDude

This is a printing UDF which allows you to print text in any font, size and colour at any position on the page, draw lines, curves, elipses, pies in any colour, and print images. Useful for labels, re

Just want to update from a user's side: This dll & udf is still working in 2017 using Win 10 current releases and it still seems to me the best option for complex printing tasks handled by Au

Hello Martin,

the UDF you have linked in your post is working fine. Could you please update the ZIP file on your homepage, too?

Many thanks in advance,

best regards

TheDude

I'm glad it works now.

If you mean the first post in this thread when you say homepage then I am unable to edit it but I don't know why.

The link in the first post needs to be changed to this.

Can change the paper size before printing it? Rather than manually select the printer and paper size!

sorry my bad English

I'm afraid I haven't included anything to let you set the paper size. I might do that but not for a while, maybe next year.

Try it from another web browser: Opera/FireFox/Crome/IE.

There is maybe some bug which is only in some browsers.

You're right Zedna; with IE it works ok. Thanks.

printer UDF download link broken...??

Looks like it is; the url has mysteriously vanished from the first post. I think it's fixed now..

Tried running the UDF but it just crashes with this error

!>09:06:32 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819

I cannot make any sensible suggestion without more information.

Which function was being called when it crashed?

Please tell me your OS, the version of AutoIt, and the script you were running, or an example of a script which causes the problem.

If your script crashed then I would have expected some other error message.

Thanks Again,

Are you using 64bit for AutoIt? If so it would explain your problem because the dll is 32bit.

Is the dll in the same folder as the script, or have you set the path to the dll?

Otherwise you need to give me a isimple example of something which fails.

No I am using 32bit, I'm just extracting the dll etc to the desktop and running the script.

Script runs

then a printer properties window comes up. I select either a pdf print driver or Network printer and hit print..

Then it shows me that it crashed..

I have so many things I want to use this udf with I really want it to work...

Hey Martin,..

Firstly i need to thank the "insert swear-words here" out of you, this was exactly what i was looking for. If i were a rich man i would've paid you for this UDF.

If i may make a request, could you please add a feature to send the output to the print preview first.

Again, bloody nice UDF.

On second thought scratch that request, printing to the preview may involve too many coding, especially since there is an easier solution: Just use and print to PDFCreator.

Martin, again man, great UDF. You saved my behind.

I've created a script that will take a selected JPG file and print it. If the image is smaller than the page it just prints it, but if it's larger, I rescale it to fit. I need to know the page height BEFORE I decide if I have to print landscape.

The problem is that the function requires the commands in this order:

_PrintPageOrientation()

_PrintStartPrint()

_PrintGetpageheight()

Which is the exact opposite of what I have to do. How can I get the page size before I set the orientation?

I think, you don't need the paer size to determine the orientation. landscape should always be the setting where the width is larger than the height.

So you just have to determine whether you image is wider then high and choose landscape according to this. Who cares whether images that are small enough are printed in landscape or portrait.
