setting printer defaults non-programmatically

Post by Tel »

Hello and Happy New year,

My company is using some software that uses the Amyuni PDF Converter v2.06 Pro (developer licence) I do NOT have access their source code.

The problem we are experiencing is printing Japanese fonts, they do not print correctly without the Multi-language support option being ticked.
Unfortunately, the program dynamically creates printers on the server for each user and each printer is installed with this setting turned off.

Is the anyway that I can specify defaults for the printer installation by way of the registry or an INI file or something of that nature?

The software that uses Amyuni has an INI file where I specify the following:-
[ReportSched]
DRIVER=amyuni
PDFPath=c:\PDFData

Perhaps I can add something here, but I suspect this is specific to the application and not Amyuni itself, right?


Thanks for taking time to read this.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

Setting Multilanguage support should be alone from the Amyuni Printer settings to support Japanese characters. you can add the values to the registry under the key of the Amyuni Printer installed you can set the options key but this may not work if your application changes this key at run time. The best solution is to cheek with your application provider to add the multilanguage option to the application itself, if not you may want to license your own End User version of the driver that allows you to generate PDF files from all windows application.

Happy New Year!

Thanks,

Unfortunately the printers are created per session.
They are created, documents printed and soon after the printer is discarded, so I have no chance to interveen.
The Application Provider will not be addressing this issue for the foreseeable future.
Could you tell the value that should be set for the options key?
How would owning our own End User version help in this situation?

Thanks once again.

Hello,

You need to add 90 Hex to the Options key. But this may not work because i don't know how your application is setting and changing this key.

If you license you own version of the PDF Converter, you can print to it directly from your application and set multilanguage support from the user interface of the Printer. For more information please contact support@amyuni.com

Hope this helps.
