Send Printer size from commandline... FORMAT

[kavvis]

Hi need to send the printer size with the command line,
I have to diffrent printers.. and I want to run this script..

C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe C:\02 \121116.tif /killmesoftly /silent /print=Printer01 ( This need FORMAT 100X100)

C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe C:\06 \12ere16.tif /killmesoftly /silent /print=Printer02 ( This need FORMAT 150X150)





I can make the printout if I open the .tiff manuell in the software.. and choice the korrekt FORMAT
but it seems like when I run the program from the commandoline it use the last used FORMAT


So Can I somehow make the format as input to the commandolines...

[kavvis]

what I can understand the application uses the last "knowed" settingings in the .ini file..





I made one print out with the both printers so se what changes...
I can onlye se this lines changes.. (this is in the "i_view32.ini" )




AutoRotate=0
Option=1 Option=2
Left=0.00
Top=0.00
Inches=0
ScaleX=10.00
ScaleY=10.00
Centered=0
MultipageOpt=1
PageRange1=1
PageRange2=1
CustomPages=1;3;4;
EvenOdd=0
Copies=1
Head=0
HeadTxt=
Collate=1
Foot=0
FootTxt=
FontParam=-13|0|0|0|400|0|0|0|0|1|2|4|49|
Font=Courier
Printer=Printer01 Printer=Printer02
Orient=1
Size=120 Size=9
Src=1 Src=15
Color=1
Duplex=1
SizeTxt=A4



Maybe I can change this lines in the "i_view32.ini" from my VB.net before make the print?
Then it should start?

I often make changes to the Irfanview ini file using a VBS file that I posted here so I am sure you could easily do it with VB.net

Let us know how you get on.

Comment on first post added: I just looked again at your first post. I think the problem with your command line is the /killmesoftly entry. You do not need it if you use the /print= [printername] option. That will close Irfanview anyway after the print is done.

It is not stated explicitly but I have only ever seen /killmesoftly used at the end of a command line. I suspect that by placing it earlier in the line, it may then not accept another command that also asks the program to close down and the /print=[printername] option is being treated as just /print, causing the default printer to be used instead of the one specified.

Try C:\Program Files (x86)\IrfanView\i_view32.exe C:\02 \121116.tif /silent /print=Printer01
