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. |

This sounds like an oddity with your printer driver. (The printer driver requires a user interface to be active). What printer driver are you using and what version of OS/2 ?

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... -------------------- \____Cat

The exact same code is used for both cases. It works fine here on my 75MHz laptop with Warp 4 so I doubt it is related to a slow computer.
I remember that Warp 3.0 may had some strange problems with the Printer UI, so do your testing on Aurora CP2. -------------------- Peter Nielsen (peter@pmview.com) "If you can dream it, you can do it" JFK.

I tes /PRINT=NODIALOG on both PC-s, result is absolutely same, as on OS/2 Warp, as on Aurora CP2... Okay, will try to install one more PC and test then...

I just installed IBMNULL, and you're right. It does not work! Ok, this will be fixed in 3.11
Obviously not a Popular option in OS/2 since the beta testers had the feature for about 6 months and did not report a problem. Thanks, -------------------- Peter Nielsen (peter@pmview.com) "If you can dream it, you can do it" JFK.

Found the problem. We'll try to get out 3.11 A.S.A.P.
