Hello!
I have a file (in my situation it is a Postscript file or a Pdf file,
but it isn't important).
Au contraire (pardon the slaughtered French)
On Windows, most files need to be printed by an application that can
render the file contents as bitmap pages. You might be able to send a
raw Postscript file to a Postscript aware printer, but unless the
printer also understands PDF syntax, you will probably have to invoke
Acrobat Reader to print it -- or some other program that can read and
render PDF.
import subprocess
x = subprocess.Popen([r"c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\acrord32.exe", .... "/p", "aprs101.pdf"])
Is sufficient (on my machine) to have Acrobat Reader's print dialog
appear -- though one must then physically select the printer (if the
default is not desired) and activate the actual "print". It also has the
drawback of leaving a minimized Reader in the task bar.
I must send this file to a printer, using Python, and I need to select
the printer to which I want send this file.
Then I would use a Dialog Window.
I use PyGtk on Windows (but if I can open a dialog without PyGtk is
also good), I would know all methods to do it.
In general though, I suspect you'll need to study the win32print
module in the Windows extensions -- and by the time you've gone that
far, you might find some way to activate the win32 common dialogs
without needing PyGtk.
