solution code in VB

Raj Cool... replied to Kim S at 2008年9月12日 2:11

Hi,

Please use following code which will work fine for you. It will have properti and command button. You need to select property and click to perform the task.

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
2. Add a CommandButton and a ListBox to the Form.
3. Paste the following code into the Form's module:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function PrinterProperties Lib "winspool.drv" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hPrinter As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function OpenPrinter Lib "winspool.drv" _
Alias "OpenPrinterA" (ByVal pPrinterName As String, _
phPrinter As Long, pDefault As PRINTER_DEFAULTS) As Long
Private Declare Function ClosePrinter Lib "winspool.drv" _
(ByVal hPrinter As Long) As Long
Private Type PRINTER_DEFAULTS
pDatatype As Long ' String
pDevMode As Long
pDesiredAccess As Long
End Type
Private Const STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED = &HF0000
Private Const PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER = &H4
Private Const PRINTER_ACCESS_USE = &H8
Private Const PRINTER_ALL_ACCESS = (STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED Or _
PRINTER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER Or PRINTER_ACCESS_USE)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim I As Integer
' List all available printers
For I = 0 To Printers.Count - 1
List1.AddItem Printers(I).DeviceName
If Printers(I).DeviceName = Printer.DeviceName Then
List1.Selected(I) = True ' Select current default printer
End If
Next I
End Sub
Private Sub List1_Click()
Dim Prt As Printer
' Find and use the printer just selected in the ListBox
For Each Prt In Printers
If Prt.DeviceName = List1.Text Then
Set Printer = Prt
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim RetVal As Long, hPrinter As Long
Dim PD As PRINTER_DEFAULTS
PD.pDatatype = 0
' Note that you cannot request more rights than you have as a user
PD.pDesiredAccess = STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED Or PRINTER_ACCESS_USE
PD.pDevMode = 0
RetVal = OpenPrinter(Printer.DeviceName, hPrinter, PD)
If RetVal = 0 Then
MsgBox "OpenPrinter Failed!"
Else
RetVal = PrinterProperties(Me.hwnd, hPrinter)
RetVal = ClosePrinter(hPrinter)
End If
End Sub
4. Run the project and click on Command1. The Properties dialog will open for the currently selected printer. Note that some tabs may be missing from what you see when bringing up these properties by hand.

VBA macro to automate "print on both sides" for Word only

mv ark replied to Kim S at 2008年9月12日 2:14

Use this VBA macro from this link - http://wordtips.vitalnews.com/Pages/T001418_Printing_On_Both_Sides_of_the_Paper.html
It first prints the odd pages in a document, prompts you to turn the paper over, and then prints the even pages.
Sub PrintBothSides()
    Dim iTemp As Integer
    ActiveDocument.PrintOut Copies:=1, PageType:=wdPrintOddPagesOnly
    iTemp = MsgBox("Switch paper to continue", vbOKCancel, "PrintBothSides")
    If iTemp = vbOK Then
        ActiveDocument.PrintOut Copies:=1, PageType:=wdPrintEvenPagesOnly
    End If
End Sub
The printer feature that allows printing on both sides of a piece of paper is called duplexing.

using WMI Script

sundar k replied to Kim S at 2008年9月12日 2:31

You can use WMI script to change the printer settings of any printer installed in your machine. The below code set the duplex (print on both sides) property to true for the printers installed in your machine. Set duplex to false if you dont want to print on both sides.

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
    & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_PrinterConfiguration ")
For Each objPrinter In colInstalledPrinters
    objPrinter.Duplex = True
Next
