print pdf via website

[Roel]

Hello

I try to pint a pdf from a .net webapplication. Therefore I use GhostScript.

When I execute the following line via "start - run", the pdf is printed
correctly:
c:\gs\gs8.14\bin\gswin32c.exe -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=ljet4 -sOutputFile=
"%printer%\\SRV01\bezvntprt02\" c:\208.pdf

My code in the appication:

proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\gs\\gs8.14\\bin\\gswin32.exe ";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-dNOPAUSE " +
"-dBATCH " +
"-sDEVICE=ljet4 " +
"-sOutputFile=\"%printer%\\\\SRV01\\bezvntprt02\" " +
"c:\\208.pdf";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.Start();

But it won't work...
NOTE1: SRV01 = printserver
NOTE2 bezvntprt02 = printername

Does anybody knows what I'm doing wrong or has another solution ?

Regards
Roel

Hi !

Not knowing any useful thing about Ghostscript, but only comparing the
argument strings from command line and your c#-code,

"%printer%\\SRV01\bezvntprt02\"

\"%printer%\\\\SRV01\\bezvntprt02\"

^
------------------------------------|

shouldn't there be two additional '\\' ?
Unescaping the c#-code would lead to

"%printer%\\SRV01\bezvntprt02"

That 's not the problem, I think. The command I execute via run is
"%printer%\\SRV01\bezvntprt02" I also create this command in my C-sharp
code.

But maybe the problem has something to do with rights.

Let me explain it:

When I execute the command via 'Run', the document is printed. When I try to
execute the same command via asp.net, the document is not printed. Maybe it
has something to do with the user that actually prints the document ? Isn't
that different in both cases ???



Regards and many thx for your input !

The standard method of debugging any permissions issue is to
grant admin rights to the web service. Or convert that part of the
program to a console C# app and run it under your account. If it
still doesn't work, it's not a permissions problem. If it does work,
then you get to start the fun process of determining what access you
need.
