Hello Alexander,

We use the following script to print to a specific printer on DAS :

sub main
dim pr as string
pr=“\NTBRUCO04PRI\prbrucoh2r03”
ActiveDocument.PrintOut(pr)
end sub

Hope this helps,

Hi Alexander,
here is the script in english to send a document to refresh, then print to whatever printer. hope this helps.

You cannot control the print options within the Console. The print command goes to the default printer on the DAS. In order to print to network printers, you have to use scripting (until hopefully this is built into DAS!). Use the PrintOut command:

Sub Main()

Dim doc as BODocument
set doc = Applciation.Documents.Item(1)
doc.Refresh
doc.PrintOut(“\server\printershare”)

End Sub

If you are running the DAS as a service, then you must make sure that the user running the service has the permission to get at the printer on the remote machine. Using a named user to run the service in the services control panel may help, if that’s the issue.
