Printing from a COBOL/CENTURA BUILDER

[p33kabo0]

Hello,

I have setup the Terminal Server one on my Windows 2000 Server and it seems that I have setup to make sure that there is no popup because how I use this is like this:

I have a program "Orbiter" running on an open session and that program is looking for jobs to do ...printing stuff, running programs ...it's the brain of our ERP (old one in centura builder/cobol) ...so when it has a job to print, I have all my printer installed in that server.

All options that I have setup is to save to a folder directly without asking any filename or folder (save as...) option ...maybe I missed one ...but my job is sent to the printer ...and in my Event Log, System, I have the following error:
The document P0178170 owned by keepconnected failed to print on printer DRMFIN-FILE. Data type: NT EMF 1.003. Size of the spool file in bytes: 2382. Number of bytes printed: 8. Total number of pages in the document: 0. Number of pages printed: 0. Client machine: \\DA-SARIN. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 8.

Do you have any idea if my setup is possible to use your driver?

Also, I found that generated SPL file into my C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ and I opened it with NOTEPAD, and when I print on my PDF Printer, nothing is happening ...nothing in my event log ...I see the job passing into my Printer' status ...but no file is being created ...
So I tried to print only "blablabla" from notepad ... and samething happen as my SPL file ...

Someone knows what can be wrong?

Thanks,
Philippe

OK well ...after some testing ...I was able to print with NOTEPAD my SPL file and my "blablabla" text ...my file is created on a LOCAL DRIVE ...I discovered that NETWORK DRIVE doesn't work ...we cannot save to it with the DEMO version ...

So know ...when I try to print from my "Orbiter" application, if I pause my printer and I put 2-3 jobs in it ...I see the file .PDF created and deleted super fast when I unpause the printer ...but no errors anywhere that I can find ...

Is there a way to put this in a DEBUG mode ..activate the VERBOSE mode?

Thanks!
Philippe
