[Solved] Printing a PDF and specifying paper tray

[mgrant1971]

Hi,

I've downloaded PDF Creator .Net as a demo to test feasability for a project. I'm attempting to open a PDF and print it to a printer using a specific bin. I've seen older posts that look like you need to set each page's PaperBin attribute, but this has not worked successfully for me as of yet.

Below is a sample of what I'm attempting.

oTest = New Amyuni.PDFCreator.IacDocument
oTest.Open(fs, "")

Dim iPageCount As Integer
For iPageCount = 1 To oTest.PageCount
oTest.GetPage(iPageCount).AttributeByName("PaperBin").Value = 3
Next
oTest.Print("HP LaserJet 4050 Series PCL6", False)

I have also tried using a PaperBin value of 261, which translates to Tray 2. In all cases, my printer defaults the printing from Tray 3.

Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.

Hello

One thing to check is that the tray that you printing to has the papersize that corresponds to the page that you are printing i.e. trying to print a legal page when tray only accepts letter size.

If you continue to encounter the problem, you can send your document to our support department (suppport@amyuni.com) and they will assist you in troubleshooting the issue.

Hope that helps?

Thanks for the response,

Unfortunately, when I was preparing my test app for bundling to send to support, it began working. I don't know what I did, or what happened, but I swear I am not crazy.

I was just removing some comments I had left, and some extraneous code that has nothing to do with this workflow.

Anyway, my code appears to work now. I must have done something wrong somewhere, and it is now corrected.

Thanks again.
