如何确定Adobe PDF打印机的“Ne”端口?

如何检测打印机所在的端口(Ne01:,Ne02:,Ne99:等)?

BigCorp的计算机(WinXP)安装了Adobe Acrobat(版本7.0 Pro),它提供了一个名为“Adobe PDF”的虚拟打印机。如果在录制宏的同时将Excel(2003)工作簿打印为pdf,则打印机的全名为“Nexx上的Adobe PDF:”,其中xx是两位数......并且不同取决于具体内容你试试的电脑。

我已经使用Excel.Interop编写了一个C#控制台应用程序(我强烈反对其他任何人开始这条路走向地狱),这会打开一系列电子表格。它在每个中运行一个宏,保存,打印为pdf,然后将pdf移动到共享驱动器上的报告文件夹。

我面临的问题是,每次安装Acrobat似乎都会为PDF打印机选择一个随机端口号...我无法弄清楚如何获取它。

到目前为止,我已尝试使用Win32_Printer class,因此

var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher( @"SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer" );
foreach ( ManagementObject printer in searcher.Get() )
{
   if ( Regex.IsMatch( printer["Name"].ToString(), @"(adobe|pdf)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase ) )
   {
       //printer["Name"];    => "Adobe PDF"
       //printer["PortName"] => "my documents/*.pdf"
       foreach ( PropertyData pd in printer.Properties )
       {
           Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}, {1}", pd.Name, pd.Value));
       }
           break;
      }
}

我也在System.Drawing.Printing类中探讨过。 PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters将为您提供打印机“Adobe PDF”的名称,但我无法弄清楚如何获取端口信息。

如果我只将“Adobe PDF”传递给excel interop PrintOut()方法,它有时会起作用,有时会因“文档无法打印”而失败......我无法弄清楚原因。

如果我使用适当的x值传递硬编码的“Nexx上的Adobe PDF:”,则每次都

如果我尝试所有可能的变化,Excel会帮助打印到默认打印机。我没有选择更改默认打印机(安全策略限制)

有人能指出我正确拉动打印机端口的代码吗?

这就是我最终做的事情

using Microsoft.Win32;
...

        var devices = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey( @"Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices" ); //Read-accessible even when using a locked-down account
        string printerName = "Adobe PDF";

        try
        {

            foreach ( string name in devices.GetValueNames() )
            {
                if ( Regex.IsMatch( name, printerName, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase ) )
                {
                    var value = (String)devices.GetValue( name );
                    var port = Regex.Match( value, @"(Ne\d+:)", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase ).Value;  
                    return printerName + " on " + port;
                }
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            throw;
        }

答案 1 :(得分:1)

上次我使用Acrobat时,它总是习惯于在LPT1上安装自己:从而避免了这个问题。但我认为你必须在注册表中徘徊,HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices拥有它们。

答案 2 :(得分:0)

正如您发现必须查询注册表一样,这是我使用 [在VBA中] 的方式,这是我从Chip Pearson's great Excel site获得的:

' shrink Printers down to used size

Res = RegCloseKey(hKey)
' Return the result array
GetPrinterFullNames = Printers
End Function

然后我使用此功能获取PDF打印机名称:

Public Function FindPDFPrinter() As String
'this function finds the exact printer name for the Adobe PDF printer

        Dim Printers() As String
        Dim N As Integer
        FindPDFPrinter = ""
        Printers = GetPrinterFullNames()
        For N = LBound(Printers) To UBound(Printers)
            If InStr(1, Printers(N), "PDF") Then
              FindPDFPrinter = Printers(N)
            End If
        Next N

End Function

然后将Application.ActivePrinter设置为该String。

如果你真的需要这个端口,你可以把它拉出字符串的末尾。
