First, everyone please forget about that ShellPrint.exe that
I posted. If you use Acrobat, Acrobat stays open after printing,
and that's not what you want. The reason you saw that error message is that I built it
under Visual Studio 2015, and it therefore requires this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 But don't waste your time with this at all, because you don't want Acrobat or whatever staying open after you print. I've got a full-scale PDF printer utility in the works that uses PDFXCview.exe, but that won't be ready for a while. Meanwhile, apologies for (1) double-posting and (2) posting
something that doesn't work the way it should. As Roseanne Roseannadanna
said, "Never mind."
producing an error message on Win 8.1, indicating that VCRruntime140.dll is missing, for which Google is offering conflicting explanations. What's the likeliest? Thanks.

If not, this may be useful. I’m assuming that you already have pcl6.exe in the vDosPlus folder. Download this application: https://www.dropbox.com/s/%C2%A0cua7evqz8cqpbnk/ShellPrint.%C2%A0exe?dl=1[%C2%A0www.%C2%A0dropbox.%C2%A0https://www.dropbox.com/s/ cua7evqz8cqpbnk/ShellPrint. exe?dl=1[ www. dropbox. ; com/s/cua7evqz8cqpbnk/ShellPrint. exe?dl=1 ] Place it in the vDosPlus folder. Change the LPT1 line in config.txt to: LPT1 = ’ShellPrint.exe’ #LPT1.PDF When you print to LPT1 from a PCL driver, there should be a short pause, and then the document should print to the default Windows printer. |
