Thanks for all the feedback and help.
The good news is that I have managed to get my windows 98 SE machine to
print a text file using the follwing code:-
import tempfile
import win32api
filename = tempfile.mktemp (".txt")
open (filename, "w").write ("This is a test")
win32api.ShellExecute (
0,
"print",
filename,
None,
".",
0
)
Can anyone understand or tell me why this works but the following code does
not:-
import win32api
filename = "testprint.txt"
fileobj=open (filename, "w")
fileobj.write ("This is a test")
fileobj.close()
win32api.ShellExecute (
0,
"print",
filename,
None,
".",
0
)
The code above gives me the error: (31, 'ShellExecute', 'A device attached
to the system is not functioning.') However this code works fine on the
windows xp + windows 2k.
I am so happy it is like Christmas all over again!
Thanks,
John.
