Subject: [python-win32] Raise exception for printers
Message-ID: <2f3da5b517fc4e85806362931072e082@moutier.ch>

Hey guys,

I'm trying to get error informations from my printer.

The job is sending from a web application, the application use the php function ? Shell_exec ? to call the python CLI and passe the arguments to the python script.

Anyway, I first tried to raise an exception if the printer isn't turn on, but it's harder than I thought, is there an easy way to do it ?

I tried to do it by using the command ? GetPrinter ? but nothing seems to point the power state of the printer.

Here is a sample of my code

job = win32print.OpenPrinter(printer_name)
printer_info = win32print.GetPrinter(job, 2)
for key, value in printer_info.items() :
    print (key, value)

return value :
pServerName None
pPrinterName DTC1250e Card Printer
pShareName DTC1250
pPortName USB001
pDriverName DTC1250e Card Printer
pComment
pLocation
pDevMode <PyDEVMODEW object at 0x01BF4E08>
pSepFile
pPrintProcessor winprint
pDatatype RAW
pParameters
pSecurityDescriptor <PySECURITY_DESCRIPTOR object at 0x057A9648>
Attributes 11848
Priority 1
DefaultPriority 0
StartTime 1380
UntilTime 1380
Status 0
cJobs 18
AveragePPM 0

If someone has an idea, it would be nice.

Is there a solution to check if the ink or paper runs out ?

Thank you guys !

The "Status" value tells you some of that information.? The bits are
defined here:
??? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc244854.aspx

Power state is a tricky thing for the system to handle.? The spooler
wants to allow you to submit print jobs even if the printer is off or
offline, because it will probably come back at some point.? I suspect
you will find PRINTER_STATUS_SERVER_OFFLINE in that case.

Message-ID: <CAFLOskbrpPvOwq7OU1123s0FkPQVV-vXS1U4qLCzHwNzqLcgrA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello!

I am trying to do some updates of some systems that utilize pypiwin32 and
python 2.7 and I have some confusion about how to go about this. First, a
few things:

What is the difference between pypiwin32 and pywin32? Is it just packaging
in wheel format?
Why does https://github.com/Googulator/pypiwin32/releases show 220 as
latest, but https://pypi.org/project/pypiwin32/#files shows 223? Is that
not the official repo for pypiwin32?
Why is there no python 2.7 wheel for pypiwin32 223?

Thanks!

pypiwin32 is a "fork" of pywin32 which existed purely to have support 
for pypi. @xoviat helped roll the necessary changes into pywin32 itself, 
so pypiwin32 is effectively deprecated.

As part of helping the migration, pywin32 builds with wheel support were 
also added to pypiwin32, but that's unlikely to continue happening.

> Is that not the official repo for pypiwin32?

It is, but pypiwin32 isn't really official. You should move to using 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pywin32 which is built from 
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32 - although note that the wheels 
aren't directly on github - the pywin32 release process builds both 
executable installers and wheels with the former uploaded only to github 
and the latter uploaded only to pypi. If there was a good reason to put 
the wheels directly on github, I'd be happy to also do that for future 
releases.

HTH,

Mark

Mark,

     If its possible, could the wheels be published? I have an installer I
need to update which I have to give wheels to in case of an offline install
scenario. Thanks for the explanation of everything, there wasn't exactly a
dearth of information I could find on what was what.

Can't you grab them directly from https://pypi.org/project/pywin32/#files ?

Hi, I've been looking for a solution to this question for some time now. Hopefully you could help me out. There's a program (Golden Software Surfer) that I have successfully automated using Python COM. I normally am able to control every portion I need. The part I have trouble accessing is under its "Property Manager". Even though I am using the description provided in the software's documents & help files I get an error saying:
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Surfer 13 Type Library.IShape instance at 0x2327715907232>' object has no attribute 'ShowColorScale'
"ShowColorScale" is just an example of one property/method in the Property Manager window.
Here is the example code I have been working with:
import win32com.client

srf = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Surfer.Application')
Plot = srf.Documents.Add(1)
srf.Visible = True
MapFrame1 = Plot.Shapes.AddImageMap(GridFileName="C:/test.grd")
ImageLayer1 = MapFrame1.Overlays(1)
ImageLayer1.ShowColorScale = True  # this is where i get the error
The full error message:KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)

It's almost identical to my issue. The author mentions that he found a solution on his latest post too. But doesn't post the solution itself. Just something regarding CastTo and then gives two links for reference. (Tried to search and understand CastTo without any success, couldn't understand how to implement it to the code above.)

I'm new to programming & Python.. especially to COM. I would really appreciate it if some one could help me solve this.

The problem here, I think, is that ShowColorScale is a property of the
IContourMap interface, but you've been given an IShape interface.? One
of the issues about COM is that some objects implement many different
interfaces, and you have to know which interface to ask for to get the
methods and properties you want.

The answer, as the old poster suggested, is to query the IShape object
for its IContourMap interface.? It shouldn't be very much more
complicated than this:

??? ImageMap1 = ImageLayer1.CastTo( "IContourMap" )
??? ImageMap1.ShowColorScale = True

Thank you for your reply. I wanted to try it but for seom reason the code that has been running without a problem suddenly gave this error:

srf = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Surfer.Application')? # after this line of code the error below is produced...

The problem here, I think, is that ShowColorScale is a property of the
IContourMap interface, but you've been given an IShape interface.? One
of the issues about COM is that some objects implement many different
interfaces, and you have to know which interface to ask for to get the
methods and properties you want.

The answer, as the old poster suggested, is to query the IShape object
for its IContourMap interface.? It shouldn't be very much more
complicated than this:

??? ImageMap1 = ImageLayer1.CastTo( "IContourMap" )
??? ImageMap1.ShowColorScale = True

For future maintenance purposes, you might consider changing the names
to match the interfaces:

??? Shape1 = MapFrame1.Overlays(1)
??? ImageLayer1 = win32com.client.CastTo(Shape1, "IImageLayer" )

Hi again,
I solved the unexpected error I just posted by following this link:

There is said to:

"Just in case, could you delete the contents of your gen_py
directory (probably in %TEMP%\gen_py)"That did it.
Now I was able to test your answer. But I got this error:

I tried adding an import for it to work:

from win32com.client import CastTo? # tried adding this line

but it didn't change the error.

Hello again,
Finally I got it to work! Here it is:
import win32com.client

srf = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Surfer.Application')
Plot = srf.Documents.Add(1)
srf.Visible = True
MapFrame1 = Plot.Shapes.AddImageMap(GridFileName="C:/test.grd")
ImageLayer1 = MapFrame1.Overlays(1)
ImageMap1 = win32com.client.CastTo(ImageLayer1, "IImageLayer")  # the property was under IImageLayer
ImageMap1.ShowColorScale = True

Your help lead me to the solution. I now understand what the issue was and how to use CastTo to get it working.
Thank you and Mr.Hammond so much during for all your help!
Best regards,

E m r e

The problem here, I think, is that ShowColorScale is a property of the
IContourMap interface, but you've been given an IShape interface.? One
of the issues about COM is that some objects implement many different
interfaces, and you have to know which interface to ask for to get the
methods and properties you want.

The answer, as the old poster suggested, is to query the IShape object
for its IContourMap interface.? It shouldn't be very much more
complicated than this:

??? ImageMap1 = ImageLayer1.CastTo( "IContourMap" )
??? ImageMap1.ShowColorScale = True

When I run `from win32com import adsi` on PY3 I get an exception
`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'adsi'` from

I took a look around and saw someone opened an issue with a patch before (

Yes.? The code in win32gui.i only allocates a buffer of 1,024
characters.? If you select more than that, you'll get FNERR_BUFFERTOOSMALL.

There may be a slimy way to work around this.? The code allocates the
larger of 1024 characters or the size of the File parameter.?? You could
try something like
??? win32gui.GetOpenFileName( None, File='\x00' * 2048, Flags=... )

Hi,

on a 64bit windows 7 machine with pywin32 221 I used to get a pointer to 
the MAPI session like this

outlook.GetNamespace('MAPI').Session.MAPIOBJECT.QueryInterface(mapi.IID_IMAPISession)

on a fresh windows 10 machine with pywin32 221 this fails with

pywintypes.com_error: (-2147467259, 'Unknown error', None, None)

Any idea why this is failing? How can I debug it?

Is this a fresh Windows 10 machine that includes a copy of Microsoft Outlook?

Hi everyone,

I'd like to use the `wmi` module to detect when a window with the title
"Foo Bar" was created, and then kill the process that created this window.
Is this possible?

(I can do the killing without `wmi`, I just need to ID the process.)

Note that I don't want to be periodically polling for that window, I want
to be listening to an event so there wouldn't be a big delay.


Thanks for your help!
Ram.

Yes, exactly. I moved my office 16 license to the new machine which had office 365 pre-installed.

I don't know how much overhead you are willing to impose, but you can always install a WH_CALLWNDPROC window hook and look for WM_CREATE messages.  That injects a DLL into every process in the system, so I'm not convinced it can be done with Python.  You may need to write a C++ DLL and have it communicate with your Python process.

It would be easy with polling.  You'd use EnumWindows to go through the list of all top-level windows, GetWindowText to get the window title, GetWindowThreadProcessId to convert the window handle to a process ID.

You may not actually need the process ID.  You could just send a WM_CLOSE message to the window.  Unless the process is trying to protect itself, that's usually enough.

In addition to just installing Outlook, have you configured Outlook?  You can't access MAPI unless you have incoming and outgoing servers configured and authenticated.

I have configured two IMAP accounts in outlook before trying to get the 
MAPI session. But I have not yet done a clean install. I will keep you 
updated.
