Hi,
  Attached is the code . I want my program to save the current printer
job properties and , when I reconnect the printer at a latter date , i
need to print the saved job . Can you please help with my code ? How
to print a document at a later stage and any errors in my code ?

import win32ui
import win32con

myprinter_name = ""
# get the name from your Printers folder

printer_properties=[]

def save():
         pHandle = win32print.OpenPrinter(myprinter_name)
         properties = win32print.GetPrinter(pHandle, 2)
         pDevModeObj = properties["pDevMode"]
         printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.FormName)
         printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.PaperSize)
         printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.Orientation)
         printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.Color)
         printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.Copies)
         printer_properties.append(pDevModeObj.DefaultSource)
         win32print.ClosePrinter(pHandle)

def apply():
	hprinter = win32print.OpenPrinter(myprinter_name)

	devmode = win32print.GetPrinter(hprinter, 2)["pDevMode"]
	devmode.FormName=printer_properties[0]
	devmode.PaperSize=printer_properties[1]
	devmode.Orientation=printer_properties[2]
	devmode.Color=printer_properties[3]
	devmode.Copies=printer_properties[4]
	devmode.DefaultSource=printer_properties[5]

	hdc = win32gui.CreateDC("WinPrint",myprinter_name,devmode)
	dc = win32ui.CreateDCFromHandle(hdc)

	dc.StartDoc('My Python Document')
	dc.StartPage()
	dc.EndPage()
	dc.EndDoc()
	del dc


You help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Raja.
