Have you verified that the printer on your Win98 machine does work?

For example, create a text file on that computer.  In Windows
Explorer, right-click on the text file and select 'print' from the
context menu.  What happens?

[Tutor] Further help needed!

2006-01-04 Thread John Corry 
I am using the following code to send a text file to the printer:-

import win32api
filename = testprint.txt
fileobj=open (filename, w)
fileobj.write (This is a test)
fileobj.close()
win32api.ShellExecute (
  0,
  print,
  filename,
  None,
  .,
  0
)

This code works on windows XP + Windows 2000.  However it does not work on
windows 98SE.  I have tried this code on 3 seperate machines with windows
98SE.  They all come up with the same error:

 File
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py,
line 310, in RunScript
exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File C:\test\Script1.py, line 12, in ?
0
error: (31, 'ShellExecute', 'A device attached to the system is not
functioning.')

Is there another way to print out a text file on windows 98SE?  Do I have to
do something different on the windows 98SE machine?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John.

2006-01-04 Thread Alan Gauld 
John,

On Win 9X try
1) copying the text file to PRN: using os.system()
2) use the DIS PRINT command using os.system()
3) Try opening the file LPT1: and copying your text to that.

All of the above should work. But I no onger have a
Win9X box to check...

HTH,

Alan G.
