print redirection depending on the existence of a file

Hi

I would like to redirect print - output depending on the existence of a file
eg: if c:\printer1.txt exist print on printer 1
if c:\printer2.txt exist print on printer 2 ..

Is this a condition in a reprint action or a vbscript?

Rudy,

You need the Script action to do this, try this script:


Option Explicit

Dim objFSO

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If objFSO.FileExists("C:\printer1.txt") Then
RePrint PrintFilePath, "Printer1", DocumentName
End If


If objFSO.FileExists("C:\printer2.txt") Then
RePrint PrintFilePath, "Printer2", DocumentName
End If

Thanks for your help
We tried the script but each time we run a print job, the service goes down and there are no entries in the log file. We use build 4.1.1581.

For testing we reduced the script:

Option Explicit
Dim objFSO
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
RePrint PrintFilePath, "HP LaserJet 5000 EG", Untitled - Notepad

and tried "Untitled - Notepad" or "Documentname". There is no print and we have to restart the service afterwards.

Rudy,

We posted a new build at the end of last week (1581) which should solve the service problem.

You don't need quote marks if you use DocumentName, it is a variable set to the incoming document name.

I already used the new build. It didn't solve the service problem.

Can we copilot in to look at the system, there are some more details on how this works at www.copilot.com

Looking forward to a copilot session next week. Please let me know what time works for you.
I am in Zurich, Switzerland.

Rudy,

We are in the UK so can fit in with your schedule, just send a message to support with the time and we will send you an invite.

In the mean time we have become aware of a problem with Windows DEP on some systems, it might be worth disabling DEP for the pd3service.exe program. To do this:

To set this follow these instructions:

1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.

2. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

3. On the Data Execution Prevention tab, click Add to add the program \Program Files\pd3service.exe

4. Click OK two times.
