Not sure if there is an easier way, but you could write the text to a file and print the file.

(Toggle Plain Text)

 system("print path-to-printer path-to-file"); 
 
// example for a default network printer
 
system("print /d:\\\\server1\\printer1 C:\\helloworld.txt");

By 'dos', do you mean a console/command-line program?

boraciner · May 8th, 2006, 11:49 AM

yes.. I tried to tell command-line program...

they don't work .

#include<iostream>
main()
{system("print path-to-printer path-to-file");

// example for a default network printer

system("print /d:\\\\server1\\printer1 C:\\helloworld.txt");

}

I'm using visual 2003

what can I do??

Never copy/paste code. Understand its meaning, look at it again, digest it, and you will see what you're doing wrong.

Also please post in code tags. Read the "How to post a question" thread at the top of the forum.

I am going to copy and paste pseudo-code, no matter what you say. When it doesn't woik, I'm going to sue your ass off. Rejoice. You will wind up with my money and I'll wind up buying scotch for my lawyers, to no avail.

I could do this..

#include <windows.h>

HDC hDC;
SIZE Size;
int y;

void YaziciAc()
{
  PRINTDLG pd;
  DOCINFO di;
  memset(&pd, 0, sizeof(pd));
  pd.lStructSize = sizeof(pd);
  pd.Flags = PD_RETURNDC | PD_RETURNDEFAULT;
  memset( &di, 0, sizeof(di));
    di.cbSize = sizeof(di);
    di.lpszDocName = "My Document";
  PrintDlg(&pd);
  hDC = pd.hDC;
    StartDoc(pd.hDC, &di);
  GetTextExtentPoint32(pd.hDC, "A", 1, &Size);
  y = 0;
}

void Yazdir(LPCTSTR yazi)
{
  if (y==0)
  {
    EndPage(hDC);
    StartPage(hDC);
  }

  TextOut(hDC,0, y, yazi, strlen(yazi));
  y += Size.cy;
}

void YaziciKapat()
{
  EndPage(hDC);
  EndDoc(hDC);
  DeleteDC(hDC);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  YaziciAc();

  Yazdir("SATIR 1");
  Yazdir("SATIR 2");

    /* Yeni sayfa */
  y = 0;
  Yazdir("SATIR 3");
  Yazdir("SATIR 4");

  YaziciKapat();

  return 0;
}
