TanguyDuponchelle commented 2 years ago

Hello, i've some troubles to set a custom orientation 'portrait' or 'landscape' in my print settings.

Do you have any idea, why can't i set it?

currently working on windows 10, node v16.14.2

Hi:

I'm trying to reproduce the error, but i don't have problems using the library. I need more details about your projects:

If this can help for your, my tsconfig.json in my testing project is this:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES2022",
        "module": "CommonJS",

        "rootDir": "./src",
        "outDir": "./dist",
        "sourceMap": true,

        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,

        "moduleResolution": "Node",
        "strict": true
    }
}

In my case, using windows 10, and node v16.13.0, the definitions works as expected: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44485010/160396393-bab781a7-6d63-418d-97fd-9fb1a52ed134.mp4

Re, thx for your quick reply, I'm not using typescript, I tried a simple js file that I launch with node, i'm just testing it before implementing it in my electron project.

I tried again with an example similar to yours, but I still have the issue :

As soon as I remove it, I can print :o

I don't have any clue from where it comes...

My index.js : 

const {CmdPrinter, CmdQueue} = require('cmd-printer') 
const path = require('path')
const os = require('os')
const folder = path.join(os.homedir(), "Desktop")
const filename = path.join(folder, '27.pdf')

async function main() {
    const printers = await CmdPrinter.getAll()
    const printerId = printers.find(x => x.name === 'DP-DS620')

    const cmd = new CmdQueue({
      orientation: 'landscape',
      printTo: printerId
    });

    await cmd.print([filename])
}

main()

My package.json : 

{
  "name": "nodeprintertest",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "cmd-printer": "^1.1.0"
  }
}

The problem doesn't seems to be related about typescript...

Tell me if this works.

TanguyDuponchelle commented 2 years ago

I tried : .\sumatra-pdf-x64.exe -silent -print-to "DP-DS620" -print-settings "landscape" ".\27.pdf" It didn't work, when I removed the print settings it printed :o I tried another setting ( "monochrome") and it worked

I also tried with another printer ( just in case, but it didn't work either)

Dr-NULL commented 2 years ago

The problem seems to be SumatraPDF, try this:

If the problem will be solved, I'll launch an update with the latest SumatraPDF binaries.

Dr-NULL commented 2 years ago

Also, if is possible, send me the file do you want to print.

TanguyDuponchelle commented 2 years ago

Hello, I tried with current release, it still has same issue. I tried with different files (jpg, png, pdf) I always have the same issue : I can't use landscape or portrait options.

Dr-NULL commented 2 years ago

That's weird, because I can print in landscape using this library as well I can print in same configuration using SumatraPDF command line interface. Try with SumatraPDF executable file with this file: done.pdf

TanguyDuponchelle commented 2 years ago

well I can print with the .exe but when I change the orientation it remains the same print (maybe it's because this printer is a photo printer) paper format is 6x4

Dr-NULL commented 2 years ago

Do you have another printer to test? I use this package to print PDF in label printers and I don't have problen changing the orientation of the document.
