Print does not work from Powerbuilder

Hi, what are the steps to be followed to Print the document. My application just crashes,

Iam doing the following
long li_ret
Oleobject lole_1
lole_1 = Create oleobject
li_ret = lole_1.ConnecttoNewobject("PdfCreactiveX.PdfCreactiveX")
li_ret = lole_1.Open("c:\noa.pdf","")
lole_1.Print("\\ISAWSNTPS1\CalCtr010p1",0)

another thing is, I tried having the Prdfcreator control on the window as a Ole control and I had the noa.pdf open, then I tried the above code which I had placed in the Clicked event of a button , In that case it just printed a Blank Page.

PLease Let me know what the problem is?

Thanks in advance
Suresh

Code: Select all

Hello Suresh,

Try to print to a local or shared printer while specifying the printer name and not the server path.

By example:
lole_1.Print("HP LaserJet 6L",0)

Hope this helps.
