Hi, I'm trying to do something similar. We have a database of UNC paths to printers. These are not necessarily mapped to the local users computer.
 
When I try to print to an unmapped printer, it doesn't work. NewCustomPrinter returns blank.
 
May I ask how you were able to overcome this?
 
Thank you,
 
Jamieson

This is a new issue for Windows Server 2008.  It is 2008 that has changed and not QPL 7.13.

GetDefaultPrinterName has not changed the printer name. It is more likely that Server 2008 is reporting the printer name differently now.

Here are some ideas that might work

I understand that, but this is not an issue in version 7.13 and now in the new version it is?  I would prefer that we not have to do this.  

Thanks,

Albert

Actually, this is a Windows issue and not a QuickPDF issue. Printers are user specific in Windows meaning each user account for a computer has its own printers list. So since you setup IIS app to run under a specific user, the application only sees the list of printers for that user.

The same issue happens for Window Services also. If a service runs under a specific user then only the installed printers for that user are visible.

Update:  While I was able to get printing towork I have found an issue that we do not have currently in our productionenvironment using version QuickPDFLibrary v7.13. 

In our IIS app server weuse a domain service account as the Application Pool identity.  In orderfor printing to work I had to log in to the server as the service account andadd the printers (Devices and Printers).   

Can someone explain whathas changed that I have to do this now?  With the previous PDF library wedo not have to do this!

Thanks!

I tested using QP.GetDefaultPrinterName and it worked.   I compared the strings and found this:
\\s096v018\DOUG-Room 333-32-HP Laserjet P4014 PCL 6 64-bit
vs.
\\s096v018\DOUG/Room 333-32/HP Laserjet P4014 PCL 6 (64-bit)

So there was a change from 7.13 to the newer version in what printer path we use?

printer name is: \\s096v018\DOUG-Room 333-32-HP Laserjet P4014 PCL 6 64-bit

we do not use QP.GetDefaultPrinterName.  We get the printer path from a database and pass it to Qp.NewCustomPrinter.  This is working for us in our production environment using version 7.13

This printer is on a separate print server.

Thanks,
Albert

What is the name of the printer you are trying to connect to ?  What is the exact string you are passing to QP.NewCustomPrinter ?

Does QP.GetDefaultPrinterName return a valid result ?  Does QP.GetLatestPrinterNames return a correct result ?

Is it a virtual printer or a printer that is installed locally ?

Andrew.

Please read here what the function should return:
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/NewCustomPrinter.php
And read there what you have to do before.
If there's no returning "name" you should use LastErrorCode to see what's going on.

Cheers, Ingo
