While I can’t get my desktop, running Win7 64, to connect to our network printer, I’d like to be able to paste files, using Input Director, into a share on my laptop. There I’d like a FileSystemWatcher to pick them up and print, then delete them. How can I do thi? I assume I need to hook into the shell somehow, meaning my app can’t be a service, but I’m really clueless here.
I’ve installed Input Director, so I can move my cursor off my desktop desktop screen onto my laptop desktop, and just right click the file to print. However, I am still interested in learning ways to do the printing.
I suppose it would depend on what you are trying to print, since the app is responsible for rendering a document to the print device, not the shell itself.
Isn’t this just the long way round to finding correct drivers for your printer?
