Windows service connector support #446

Closed sabbadino closed 5 years ago

sabbadino commented 5 years ago

Hi, I see that the last release of the connector has been done 1 year ago. Is this project still active ? I played with the windows service and compared it to the chrome built in one. The chrome connector does see network printers while the one in the windows service does not. I managed to have a network printer seen when installed as if it was a local one (a kind of trick you do in windows), in this way the service did see the printer , but it prints garbage. With an actual local USB printer it does work fine.

Any comment from Google on the matter ? Thank you. Enrico ok

This seems to be a duplicate of #437

As i said, when I install the network printer as a local one, it seems working (printer is registered by the gcp connector windows service), but it prints out garbage or blank pages when I try to print from a program I wrote that calls the print API. However when I try to print from the chrome cloud print page targeting that printer, it does work.

Could it be I am not crafting the print ticket properly ? (Note that when I print the same document to a local printer from my program , using the same print ticket , it does work fine).
