exception thrown driverinit failed

Post by Kees van Spelde »

when using the following lines of code :

Code: Select all

const string PDFprinter = "PDF Compatible Printer Driver";
const string strLicenseTo = "MyCompany";
const string strActivationCode = "MySerial";
CDIntfEx.CDIntfEx PDF = new CDIntfEx.CDIntfExClass();
PDF.DriverInit(PDFprinter); 
i get a driverinit failed exception, and evaluation PDF.GetLastErrorMsg() results in "The printer name is invalid.\r\n"


i tried the printer names supplied on the forum, but al result in the same error.

We have an installation of the Amyuni PDF printer installed, and it is working.

Could anybody tell me what i am doing wrong ??

Hello,

The printer name should be the same name of the printer installed on your system.

DriverInit will check if the printer given to it is intalled on the system, if it is it will attach to it.

So you need to have the printer installed on the system before using DriverInit.

Hope this helps.
