Error when printing

[RobertVabo]

We have included the PDF Converter dev. version 2.5d in our converter application. Sometimes we get an error message: Printer not activated, error code -30.

Anyone else that has this problem?

The application is written in C# and we use Java Script to do the print from word, excel etc.

Hello,

Please tell me what is your application about and how you are printing to the PDF Printer to be able to help you.

Also please note that you need to enable the printer directly before printing.

Thanks.

Our application is written in C# and JSript and is run like a service. We get the documents from a predefined folder, initiallize the PDF printer, set is as default and starts Word and print the document to the printer.

Some times it works other times it does not work and we get this error message.

Header: Activation error
Message: Printer not activated, error code -30

My application works well with the Amyuni Converter 2.1 but with the 2.5a i get this error as well.

But only sometimes, on my developer pc (xp sp2) it works, but on a test pc (win 2000) it doesn't. It seem like the broadcast aren't fired.

I delete the registry trees in HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIGURATION

Hello,

Printer not activated is generated if you are trying to print to the printer while it is not activated.

To avoid this error you need to call EnablePrinter right before printing. the call to EnablePrinter should be in your printing function and should come right before your printing command.

Otherwise, if you are catching the messages generated by the printer you can call EnablePrinter() when catching the EnablePre() event.

Hope this helps.
