RE: How to print data to the printer - DT2000 - May-23-2020 As an example you could use the following: printText = your_widget_namet.get("1.0", END) print(printText) filename = tempfile.mktemp(".txt") open(filename, "w").write(printText) # Bellow is call to print text from your_widget_name textbox win32api.ShellExecute(0,"printto", filename, '"%s"' % win32print.GetDefaultPrinter(), ".", 0) RE: How to print data to the printer - scratchmyhead - May-23-2020 OK.

I went to that link and installed all components. But when I try running the following code, I get this error: ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it printer = getNetworkPrinter()(host='192.168.0.1', port=8080) printer.text("Hello World") printer.lf() RE: How to print data to the printer - menator01 - May-28-2020 Are you going through a router? If so you may have to open a port to the printer. RE: How to print data to the printer - scratchmyhead - May-28-2020 Yes the printer goes through a router. |
