Sir,

Our Company is using a ERP solution in linux platform, now we are facing a problem with remote printing Linux to Linux, Linux to windows and windows to linux

I have an EPSON LX1050 printer setup via parallel port in linux machine .Recently we purchased RTextPrinter driver (Text mode printing for the Java platform)

i can print java app via Linux Local system, windows local system and windows to windows .But Network printing isn't working
The following the java class path of local and network printer setup


Local printing code : it's working

FilePort filePort = new FilePort("/dev/lp0");
TextPrinter printer=PrinterFactory.getPrinter("EPSON-ESCP");

Note: /dev/lp0 Linux local printer


Remote Pronting code: not working

FilePort filePort = new FilePort("\\192.168.10.125\b2b");
TextPrinter printer=PrinterFactory.getPrinter("EPSON-ESCP");


Note: b2b is the name of share printer



They are providing one example code is:


This is a very simple example:

FilePort port=new FilePort("\\\\MyServer\\HPLaserJ"); // name of shared printer in the network

TextPrinter printer=PrinterFactory.getPrinter("HP-PCL"); // get printer supporting HP-PCL command set

// create printing job
JobProperties job= printer.getDefaultJobProperties();
job.landscape=true;
printer.startJob(port,job);

// print BOLD text
prop=printer.getDefaultTextProperties();
prop.bold=true;
printer.printString("This must be BOLD",prop);
printer.newLine();

// print line
printer.printHorizontalLine(5,0,80); // row 5, column 0 to 80

printer.endJob();



I expect favorable replay

Don't you need to escape the backslashes?

So your should be:
At least that is what I see at first glance.

Errcom.java4less.textprinter.exceptions.CouldNotOpenPrinterException: \192.168.10.125\b2b (No such file or directory)

Hi All,

I'm also having the same problem. Did anyone come up with a solution for Network Printing?
Please reply if you have come up wit a solution asap.

Thank you in advance,
Haren
