Hi,
I want to use two printers with my system
1) Canon LBP-2900 (For customer A grade only)
2) Heat Thermal Star-TSP700II (For customer B grade only)
Problem: Each printer works independtly (stand alone) in a perfect way but when i try to use both the problem begins.
Exlpanation:
Situation no 1: When printer no 1 is set as default printer.
I saved the data and has given the command to print while calling run_product and giving it parameter "DESNAME", "DESTYPE". NOw the following thing will happen
Grade A Customer printing (on canon) = PERFECT
GRADE B Customer printing (on star) = worst as it gives 0.3 inches blank strip as output
Situation no 2: When printer no 2 is set as default printer and report background engine is closed to get refresh.
I saved the data and has given the command to print while calling run_product and giving it parameter "DESNAME", "DESTYPE". NOw the following thing will happen
Grade A Customer printing (on canon) = WORST as no paper is pprinted / (side note: HP P1005 prints blank page)
GRADE B Customer printing (on star) = Perfect
My anaylsis: I have noticed that the only "defualt" printer works the best.
How to fix this thing? Can we close background engine automatically and then change defualt printer???
Further note: In situaion no 2, if I run the report and see the preview and try to print it on canon then it gices 70% of the print out and 30% is missing as comapred to nothing is missed in ssituation no 2.
How to fix? any tip?
