/PRINT=NOD[IALOG] problem - PMView don't print with NODIALOG option Options

[Guest_Oleg V.Cat_*]

When i issue a comand:

PMView.exe /PRINT=NODIALOG tree1.gif

I can't get anything on printer device. i.e. pmview.exe starts (i see him in process list), do something, and then exit. BUT _nothing_ goes to printer.


The following command works OK,
PMView.exe /PRINT tree1.gif

give printing dialog and after "Print" - all is printes as asked.

Sorry, was unable to remember my userid yesterday...

so, i have two PC with OS/2:

1) OS/2 V.3.0 Fix42+
2) Aurora CP2

On both i try 3 printer drivers:

1) Standart IBMPCL driver (a bit different versions, but both ~new) on b/w laser printer.

2) EPOMNI5 driver for EPSON stylus C60.


3) IBMNULL (just for test).

in all six cases /PRINTER make print job in appropriate queue, but /PRINTER=NOD do nothing.

two hypothesis: (i have little exp. in programming under os/2, but have some 8) )

1) Printer Presentation Space killed, before printing finished (both my computers are slow, 800 and 400 Mhz).

2) You use "other" mechanizm to "detect printer queue" in =NODIALOG case...
