I'd like to print
PDF file(s) on windows' network printer via GhostScript.
(I dont want to use Adobe Reader)
I've read gswin32c.exe which can do the job.
I experimented with many commands and coudn't find the way how to force gs to print
PDF on my (windows default) network drive.
I don't need point exact network printer- default can be used. But if there is no such option I'm happy to pass printer name as well. (I've tried with param -SDevice="\server_IP\printer_name" but this didnt work as well...)
Command working under Windows cmd:
gswin32c -dPrinted -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOSAFER -q -dNumCopies=1 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile="\\spool\\\Server_Name\Printer_name" "C:\test.
pdf"
Method created base on above - doesnt work and thorws exception. (Error code = 1)
/// <summary>
/// Prints the
PDF.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="ghostScriptPath">The ghost script path. Eg "C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.71\bin\gswin32c.exe"</param>

public bool PrintPDF (string ghostScriptPath, int numberOfCopies, string printerName, string pdfFileName) {
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.Arguments = " -dPrinted -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOSAFER -q -dNumCopies=" + Convert.ToString(numberOfCopies) + " -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=\"\\\\spool\\" + printerName + "\" \"" + pdfFileName + "\"";
startInfo.FileName = ghostScriptPath;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
Process process = Process.Start(startInfo);
return process.ExitCode == 0;
}
Any idea how to make it working under C#?
