Feature Batch command

[drjonesx]

Hi everyone
It's my first post and i trying after reading here to create a batch print
But it doesn't work

Here is my command line and i don't see what is wrong

@ECHO OFF
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" /t "c:\test.pdf" \\192.168.0.199\Oki ML3390

I tried also

@ECHO OFF
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" /t "c:\test.pdf" Oki ML3390

but those two examples doesn't work
When i don't give a printer name it's work but doesn't take the good printer

@ECHO OFF
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" /t "c:\test.pdf"

Is there a way to make it work in a local environnement or in a lan?
Is there a place where a ican find examples?
Last question it's also possible to choice other paramaters as scaling, auto center,...?

Thanks for your precious help and sorry for my bad english

To print to a network with /t command line utility, it’s required to specify the full path for the printer. For instance:
"c:\foxit reader.exe" /t "c:\user\11.pdf" \\192.168.0.160\hp color laserjet 3800 ps

Please help to check the printer name again. Currently it doesn't support the mentioned printing parameters (scaling, auto center,...)

You could use the /p option instead to print to the default printer, i.e:-

"C:\Program Files\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" /p k:\reports\5.pdf

Thanks for your answers but when i m using the share printer i used this code

@ECHO OFF
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" /t "..\PDF\doc.pdf" "\\Serveur-hp\oki microline 1120"

But my problem is if the printer is not the default printer, it doesn't work!
Where did i made a mistake?
Is a way to used it whit a non defaut printer?

thanks alot for your precious help

As cherry said, it’s required to specify the full path for the printer. For instance:
"c:\foxit reader.exe" /t "c:\user\11.pdf" \\192.168.0.160\hp color laserjet 3800 ps

Oke richell

But it's doesn't work the ip of the computer where the printer is installed ans sahred is 192.168.1.100
So the path have to look like this right?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe" /t "..\PDF\doc.pdf" "\\192.168.1.100\oki microline 1120"

But when i do this nothing print

We are agree that the ip of the printer share is the ip of the computer where the printer is install with cable right?
We are agree that on each computer i have to install the share printer + foxit pdf reader?

Hope u help me to find a solution for this problem

Morning,
I as well had similiar issues and went down the following path Contained within my Provided code, but im have an even larger issue. My application was designed to run as a service under windows. When i try to run the conatined code i get Squat.... if the app is running as a desktop app everything work great. Any thought as to why i might not be able to execute the print from under a Service would be extremely helpful.
thanks..
