Screenshot Captor / Re: want to invoke PrinterDialog, using -setprinter?

« on: July 26, 2012, 04:07 AM »

hello again.
i had found "-setprinter list" before, but had trouble using it, as it would not produce any result, or "list" at all on execution, but only after i was "done" doing the screenshot, and had my batch file completed.
what i intend to do is
- automatically take a screenshot of the fullscreen, or last active window
- print this
- for printing use the default fancy gui that you get when you want to print any image under windows, and have the printer selected manually within this gui

meaning i would rather not like to pass the printername on commandline, but have the user select it manually after the screenshot has been taken
i suppose i could use "run" as commandline, and define the printing gui as parameter, if there was something like this...
or alternatively, copy the screenshot to clipboard, and invoke the printing gui using this clipboard?

-regards

Screenshot Captor / want to invoke PrinterDialog, using -setprinter?

« on: July 12, 2012, 06:43 AM »

Hello.
I am currently trying to make a command line batch file using MiniCap.
What i intend to do is simply capture the active window, and invoke the printing dialog.
Automatically print does of course work using "-print", but only invokes the default printer.

Is it possible to somehow invoke the Windows PrintingDialog, and select the desired printer?
-- either using MiniCap or using win batch code
If yes, how would i use it in the batch file?

My code so far in "mcprint.bat" (as mentioned, nothing special):

@echo off
"\MiniCap.exe" -captureactivewin -print -exit

Thank you for your time!
