I have an application that wants to print a large set of documents. Therefore, I want to have word display its print dialog so the user can supply printer settings once, that I can read and store for use with all following prints.
At first glance, this would seem straight-forward; VBA like so: Dim dlgPrint As Dialog Set dlgPrint = Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint) dlgPrint.Display MsgBox "printer = " & dlgPrint.Printer However, when tried in python, the property Printer does not seem to be available. A little trial-and-error indicates that no such properties are available from Word builtin dialogs: >>> import win32com.client >>> x = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application") >>> p = x.Dialogs(win32com.client.constants.wdDialogFilePrint) >>> p.Display() <dialogs displayed> >>> p.Printer Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "c:\python\env\env11\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 451, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (repr(self), attr) AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library.Dialog instance at 0x21494960>' object has no attribute 'Printer' What am I doing wrong? -- Anders Qvist, AB Strakt _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
