Hi,

A follow-up question on an earlier asked one regarding EML files.

Can this package be used to print .EML files into PDF documents?

Please advise.

Regards,

Arkaprava

This is really a great idea. Are there any plans on releasing a windows compatibility version of this? I can volunteer to do that for you, if you'd like. (I am not looking for any credit sharing :-))

Hi, 

The activity is very good.

I have an issue whit a big pdf. How do I set up a delay between opening file and printing the file? Open and printing the file is too fast and the PFD doc doesn't have time to load fully.

Do you have any solution for this?

Thank you.

Hi, 

Duplex settings are not working for me - can you please check that?

Also not working with Windows Server 2019.

Hi Pawel,

Great work, congrats! Any chance to also add PagesPerSheet parameter as input for the Print File activity? And if I set it manually in the printer configuration, will the package respect that?

Hi Pavel,

I have installed the last version from Package Manage UiPath Studio (1.0) and when I try to print Excel file, it's printed but the activity doesn't finish and therefore not avance to the next, I have changed the spooling time until 15000 ms but the result is the same.

What's the problem?

Thanks in advanced!!!

Hi, it is really hard to say as it can differ from PC to PC.

Could you please update package to this version: rpaby.pw/download/RPAbyPW.Printer.Activities.1.0.1.nupkg.zip - there are some additional logs for debugging

and mail logs to me: contact@rpaby.pw

Hi Pawel,

Tried using this for printing PDFs and worked great.

Is there any planned updates for printing .eml files?

Thanks

Hi Craig, 

thank for feedback and apologies for sooo late reply. It has been put on my to-do list and this should be possible - however I cannot promise you release date. Will let you know here.

what happens if an unavailable printer name is given as input to set default printer, will it throw any error?

Paweł Wesołowski

Hi,

it will not throw any error, so it is improtant to make sure that you are using existing printer. You can do it using 'List Printers' activity,

kind regards,

Hi Pawel,

I use Adobe versie 2021.001.20145 and studio pro version 2021.4.0.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Hi Tom,

are you using the newest activities package - verson 1.0? Because you wrote that you use 'print pdf' activity and this not exists in newest version, it has been replaced by 'print file' activity. Issue you report occurs in one specific place and has been handled in newest version.

Hi,

When I use the print to PDF activity the document will be printed as expected but the activity will also give me an error "Print PDF: Process has exited, so the requested information is not available" and will not continue execution. What can be the cause of this error message and how can I overcome this problem?

Regards,

Tom

Hi There

I've got a problem, "Get Printerlist" shows me not the same output in Orchestrator and in the studio.

So the name's are differently. Unfortunately this leads to a fault. 

Default printer in Orchestrator: print2me on SWIT01PVPRN01.eriksone.com (redirected 2)

Defaultprinter in Studio:\\SWIT01PVPRN01.eriksone.com\Print2Me

Have you ever seen and solved this problem?

Thanks for helping me out!

Hi!

If you are saying 'Orchestrator' I understand that you are reffering to logs from Robot which is running on your Production/Test (other than your PC) enivronment.

You have to use printer name installed on your environment where Robot is operating. This is normal situation, that there can be other printers than on your PC. And it is also normal situation that you have different default printers there.

From experience I know, that if you have in printer name "(redirected 2)", you are most probably operating on Virtual Machine, which shows you your own printer (from your PC) which is mapped by Virtual Machine when you are connected to it. But in the moment you disconnect from VM, this printer is not available anymore (as it was redirected from your PC only for time when you are connected).

Please check what printer is installed on your machine where Robot works and use it. You can check what printers are available there using "List Printers" Activity.
