2016 report printing issue

bjacobson
I've been using the same vb.net application to print (PDF and hard copy) from PCDMIS 2011 for a few years now. In 2016 it no longer works the same. After printing once, it will not print a second time. PCDMIS doesn't even flinch when the second set of commands are called. If I print the PDF first, it skips the hard copy, if I print the hard copy first, it skips the PDF...no matter what, it will not print twice in a row, like it used to. We have upgraded 7 machines to 2016, all have the same problem.

Any thoughts??

  • I haven't tried, but if you can produce a PDF file with a known name (path), you should be able to send that same name as parameter to a .BAT-file (EXTERNALCOMMAND) doing the hard copy?

    I'm able to print from adobe reader, just can't close it afterwards. At least, not without killing it mid-process. But, we've decided that leaving adobe open is not so bad, considering the time savings of not refreshing the report twice in PCDMIS, AND not waiting for PCDMIS to send the report to the printer...adobe will run concurrent to the rest of the PCDMIS processing, so it's actually a huge benefit for us.
